Columbia and Kootenay Ry Passenger Train Youtube video

This is a new series of videos based on the Columbia and Kootenay Railway that ran from Proctor on Kootenay Lake via Nelson to Robson on the Columbia River in 1902. (Pre Castelgar bridge).This video follows a passenger train as it links up with the Columbia and Kootenay Steamship Navigation Co SS Nelson in Proctor, stops in Nelson and arrives in Robson to connect with the SS Lytton on the Columbia River.


I have spent the last 8 months (started in Sept 2020) building the C&KR and getting all of the operations functional. Especially challenging was handling the amount of rail barge traffic that needed to move across a single track that was arriving from the Columbia and Western RR to the west and the Canadian Pacific Railway to the east. At times the Nelson yard had every track filled with railcars.

Future videos to be released will be C&KR Coal train and a C&KR freight Train.

Any feedback on the route for improvement is welcome as research material for early 1900's is limited
