Synopsis
Fascinating history of railway development in the Kettle Valley region of southern British Columbia -- the numerous small railway lines that eventually became the CP's Kettle Valley Route as well as their relationship to the mines dotted throughout the Valley. Provides an excellent history of the personal rivalries between men such as Hill, Van Horne and Corbin that helped fuel the construction of the lines and how even brilliant engineering could not render many of the lines profitable. Lavishly illustrated with black and white (and a few color) photographs as well as a three page foldout map of the main and branch lines. Includes an illustrated modeler's album with layouts and plans. 289 pages with index.
