Am i right in thinking that Edson is an AB hospital? As well having a lot of CNR photos in the boxes I'm working on there are a number of patients at Edson, and I'm wondering if that would as a result of some kind of accident on the railroad?

The person the photos originally belonged to was a steel bridge engineer for many many years, and for much of it lived and worked in BC. (hence my attempting to post this msg to both lists... attempting!)

As I get them scanned I'm more than happy to post the links and see if anyone recognises any of the gentlemen in the Edson pictures. It'd be nice to put names to their faces.

Edson is a town in the Yellowhead district. There probably is a hospital there as that is the larger town between Jasper and Edmonton, and it is on the main rail line from BC east and west. You should post under the Yeallowhead board.

Edson does have a hospital as well was a main stopping point for the CNR. You could contact the local archives to see if they have more information.

This Hinton history book might have the answer. A mine explosion at Hinton in 1938. Some victims were taken to Edson. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=13390 The story starts on page 173 and there are many hospital photos on the following page. Butch
