One of the most famous photographs in Canadian history is that of the 'last spike' being driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway tie at Craigellachie, British Columbia, by Sir Donald Smith on November 7, 1885. Beside the Trans-Canada Highway between Salmon Arm and Revelstoke, there is a small memorial marking the exact spot of the final link in Canada's transcontinental railway There were actually two so-called 'last spikes.' Smith bent the second-last one while trying to drive it in, and a replacement had to be found before the ceremony, and the railroad, could be completed. There are also a few slightly different photographs of the event.
