The How of Wow: Encapsulating a Moving Train

How Of Wow

Have you ever looked at something and asked, “How did they do that?” CKUA’s newest feature, “The How of Wow,” highlights marvels of innovation and technology that are all around us. The stuff Engineers and Geoscientists create can be beautiful, sometimes even iconic, but it has to work.

Building a library over a moving train!? Is this the work of Evel Knievel? The Calgary’s Central Library in the East Village has achieved the daring feat of not only straddling an active train track, but doing with the grace of a ballerina. How? Structural Engineer Ian Washbrook will provide insight.

Hear every episode of The How of Wow on-air! 8:58am MT Tuesdays, 2:58pm MT Wednesdays and 11:58am MT Saturdays!
