You are probably one of three people. The first, the great majority, are asking themselves "what is the Kettle Valley Railway?" The second are those who have heard of it, but don't really care that much about it. And then there is the third group, those guys and the occasional gal who are passionate about it. It is to the third group that I offer this post. A new book has come out and I'm guessing it will not be available that much in the States. The book has only been out about three days now and at my LHS there is a feeding frenzy, but then Vancouver, British Columbia is the Kettle Valley Fan appreciation centre of the universe. So here is the book: "Kettle Valley Railway Mile boards, A Historical Field Guide to the KVR" by Joe Smuin, published by North Kidonan Publications 2003 Here is a link to the LHS that is experiencing the feeding frenzy: www.central-hobbies.com If you want one, send your email to "Bill" and request one.
I've been sitting here, straining brain cells. Wasn't there a book previously done on the Kettle Valley? Or what am I thinking of??? Boxcab E50
There was a hard bound cover done, but a new soft cover of the same book just came out with some updates and additional info in it. Dane just bought it and the new book I am telling people about here. The new soft cover of the old book is: "Steel Rails & Iron Men, A pictorial History of the Kettle Valley Railway" by Barrie Sanford. For info and pics, I prefer this new one.
