    This cable ferry near Crowfoot, Alberta commenced operation in 1927 and crosses the Bow connecting RR201 in Wheatland County on the north and Vulcan County on the south all within the Siksika Nation. During the devasting floods of 2013 this ferry suffered significant damage and was out of service 4 years.

    Very nice composition and detail in this image and it certainly tells a story. These ferries are an important part of our history and in helping to connect communities with the rest of the world. Thanks for sharing!
