Kettle Valley Steam Railway in Summerland - British Columbia
The historic Kettle Valley Steam Railway located in Summerland holds a unique part in BC's history, and is the only heritage railway in the Okanagan Valley. Driven by the prospect for a better life with the discovery of mineral deposits and a blossoming fruit industry, the railway was an important service for the region during those early days. The Kettle Valley Steam Railway (KVSR) operates on the only remaining portion of the historic Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) which was built between 1910-1915.

The Kettle Valley Steam Railway showcases a unique part of the Okanagan’s and British Columbia’s history. Built during 1910- 1915, the KVR “Kootenay to Coast Connection” powered our pioneer fruit industry into world markets, transported our families on vacations and errands; created employment, hobos and stories that will be with us forever.

Steam in Canada. The Kettle Valley Steam Railway, 22 June 2012
Steam is very scarce in Canada but during a recent motorcycling tour we came upon the KVR, a remote outpost of Heritage Transport in the Summerland wine-growing district of British Columbia. The sole steam loco is No. 3716 a class N2b 2-8-0, rebuilt in 1929 from the original 3916 class N3b constructed at the Montreal works of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1912. This type of loco, later converted to fuel oil, populated all corners of the CPR and is very reminiscent of the LMS 8F or GWR 28xx. The line comprises a twisty, valley hugging 6 miles with an average grade of 1 in 50, so I have filmed only the return uphill with the loco facing forward. We start by running-around and reversing the train onto the 238 ft high Trout Creek steel girder bridge at the limit of current operation. After a short photo stop we set off on the climb back to Prairie Valley Station accompanied by running commentary and sing-alongs organised by the on-board banjo player! ... we are on the other side of the pond remember!! I filmed using our old JVC SD camera, which we use on the bike, and the bumpy journey was a real challenge for the electronic stabilisation. Anyway, sit back, enjoy the ride and the sound of the awesome steam siren. All aboard!!!!
