Midway - Mile 0 of the
Kettle Valley Railway

In 1910 a rail link pushed westward from 
Midway to transport the riches of the 
Kootenays, Boundaray, and Similkameen to 
the coast via an all-Canadian route. Andrew 
McCulloch's engineering marvel, the Kettle 
Valley Railway, crossed three mountain 
ranges, traversed 500 kilometres, and became 
the lifeline of the Southern Interior until 
abandoned after sixty years. Today the KVR is 
reborn as part of the Trans Canada Trail.
