General note
Vincent Hope was the engineer in charge of the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad Bridgeat Dyke. J. Burgon Bickersteth became a close friend of Vincent Hope. This photo was taken at the early stage of the construction of Canadian Northern Bridge across the Athabasca River near Entrance. Dyke was the name of present day Entrance on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. When the Canadian Northern tracks on the north side of the river were abandoned, as well as the "Old Entrance" as a station, people of the area petitioned to have the name of Entrance transferred to the Dyke Station and so it was. This bridge is still in use as a highway bridge. J. Burgon Bickersteth, 1888-1979, was an author and lay missionary under the Edmonton Mission of the Anglican Church. He worked with homesteaders and construction crews along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad as far as Tete Jaune from 1911-1913. He was later a Warden of Hart House, University of Toronto, 1921-1947.<br><br>
