Crump started working for the railroad at the age of 16 in 1920. N.R. ascended through positions of machinist, track section supervisor, and finally president in 1955.

The collection was recovered from Canoe, near Salmon Arm, B.C. in 2018. The photographs were salvaged from the previous residence of George Hohmann, on Shuswap Lake, B.C. Custody was transferred to his brother, Ron Hohmann, who in turn gave the collection to Paige Hohmann, archivist at UBC Okanagan.
