Invariably stiffs tramped the last miles into camp packing their blankets and belongings. At times this tramp could be a long one; it was claimed that workers had to walk up to 185 miles to reach some camps on the Hudson Bay Railway. Note that in this photograph men are moving in both directions. A student minister reported, "It has been said that as a general rule there are three classes of men working in the railway camps - one working, one coming and one leaving."
