The Canadian Rockies and the triangle tour of British Columbia girding the heart of Canada's wonderland.

Abstract
HAVE you ever lowered your pullman car shade upon the dim undulations of endless prairies, to raise it in the first pink flush of dawn upon the distant barriers of rock and snow that form the watershed of the Continent the Rockies?That first never-to-be-forgotten view of the eternal ranges!They reach out over miles of foothills and plains to lay their spell upon you-the spell that remains with you for life.How easily we appropriate those giants and group them mentally as our Rockies or the other fellow's.Countries claim their share of the backbone of North America, from Mexico's Sierra Madre, up through the Wahsatch ranges to Canada's pinnacling peaks, but they are all the same big family.Here and there Governments lay out parks among these mountains as large in area as principalities, and once more are the snow capped giants classified, as the "Yellow- stone Mountains" or "The Jasper Rockies".And so it has quite naturally befallen that the Canadian National Railways, cleaving its exclusive path among the highest landmarks in the Dominion, looks upon many of those formidable giants as all its own.Mountains, like great men, stand aloof from one another.They never shake hands with their neighbors.They inspire awe in those who merely see them.But to love them you must know them.Travelling by the Canadian National you come so close upon them and look up at their snow-crowned heads from so many different angles that you feel their full measure of fascination.Perhaps the greatest beauty of the Rockies is that man cannot spoil them, nor civilization mar their glory.Though trains may crawl around their base and whistle through their gorges; luxurious hotels rear their heads among the pines; smooth motor roads wind up to dizzy heights upon their sides; trails wander higher still for those who climb in the saddle -the Rockies still remain as they were before the days of man, glisten as they did before the human eye thrilled to their wonder or the human soul surrendered to their enchant- ment.Come with us then from wherever you are, across the border or the continent, and let us make known to you the Rockies and show you close-ups, as they say in the movies, of Mounts Robson and Edith Cavell, the Glacier of the Angels, Maligne lake, the most magnificent thing you can hope to look upon, and all those other points that are, really, but outstanding wonders in wonderland.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
