Very interesting, I will do some extensive research about these events, they seem very interesting! Is the KVR only in BC? And thank you, I will keep these places in mind! They do sound very nice.

I have been to Ashcroft, and this is nearby so I will most likely go there, and yes, it is nice to see both of the mains! That is what I like about Kamloops. I have been to Jasper National Park and Rodgers Pass...

I thought so, I heard it mentioned a lot! And the VV&E is the Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern Railroad? That is good to hear, it seems to be very near to Kamloops, so I will surely check it out if I get the chance! Thank you! :-)

Hello, I wanted to ask if someone knows of some good old abandoned railways in Southern British Columbia which I could go to. I already know of the Kettle Valley railway, but not a lot, and any information on this one as well as new ones would be very appreciated. Thank you!
