2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Kettle Valley Railway, “one of the strangest railways ever built.”
Steep grades, rock walls, deep canyons and snow were only some of the obstacles that had to be conquered.
Miles and miles of track required a lot of hard work and likely resulted in sore muscles and aching backs for the men who had to fell the timber and carve out the ties.
The Summerland Museum is celebrating the KVR at their AGM on March 6 with special guest speaker, Joe Smuin, Kettle Valley Railway historian and author. Join us at the IOOF Hall, 9536 Main St. at 7 p.m. to hear more about the legendary KVR.
The agenda will also include the Museum Society annual report and election of directors, along with refreshments.
