Exploring the Kettle Valley Railway
Excerpt: "To lure British Columbia into the Canadian confederation in 1867, the Canadian Pacific Railway to the Pacific was promised - a ribbon of steel that would bind the Dominion from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Laying tracks across the prairies was easy, but the high north - south ranges of the coast mountains were a challenge indeed."
