British Columbia - The Kettle Valley Steam Railway
Summerland, BC - The Kettle Valley Steam Railway offers a unique ninety-minute journey on one of British Columbia's few remaining fully operational steam railways. Passengers enjoy a tour along a preserved ten-kilometre section of the original Kettle Valley Railway constructed between 1910 and 1915. The locomotive, a 1912 Consolidation with a 1924 Shay steam engine as backup, pulls two 1950's passenger coaches and the Kettle and Valley Kars (open air). Friendly, informative guides bring the history of the railway alive as the train chugs along hillsides overlooking beautiful Okanagan orchards and vineyards. The Trout Creek Bridge, which spans the canyon at 238 feet above the water, was the highest bridge built on the original KVR line and can be viewed from the southern terminus of the railway, Canyon View Siding. The train will also take passengers for an exciting view from the train.
