The Kettle Valley Steam Railway offers a unique 2 hour 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 1924 Shay steam engine, pulls two 1950's passenger coaches and the Kettle and McCulloch Kars (open air). Friendly, informative guides bring the history of the railway alive as the train rolls 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.

Come Ride the Rails on the Alberni Pacific Railway. You can board the train pulled by our completely restored 1929 Baldwin ex-logging locomotive at the 1912 CPR Station and ride out to the McLean Mill National Historic Site. The track winds through the City of Port Alberni and then the surrounding forests for 35 minutes each way. You'll be called by the sound of the steam whistle and clatter of wheels on rails.

Ride the rails with the sights and sounds of the magnificently restored steam engine # 2141 - 'The Spirit of Kamloops'.
Experience the charm of our vintage coaches, or let the wind flow through your hair in our open-air cars. Rail travel - as it was meant to be! Your journey begins at the historic C.N. station. The trip will then start and proceed as we immediately cross the South Thompson River on a trestle bridge. The 10 km round trip takes us to the edge of the C.N. Rail yard, where we then back the train towards the station. On the return trip we need to watch carefully for the outlaws of the old west. Be sure to protect those valuables!
