I don't know if there's a plan, but for photographs look for "Canadian Pacific in the Rockies", Vols 1-10, published by BRMNA in Calgary. Usually some copies at swapmeets or in hobby shops.

I would try the nice folks over at the Revelstoke museum. They probably have what you are looking for.

Prototype "layout" CPR Field BC 1930's
Posted by Isambard on Thursday, December 9, 2004 6:57 PM
I'm looking for a map showing the yard track and servicing facilities layout at CPR's Field station around the mid '30's i.e. roundhouse, coal tower, water tower, ash pit, arrival/departure, auxiliary tracks, power plant etc.
Any help appreciated.
