Skeena Pacific

In my further coverage of the Kettle Valley Steam Railway, I chased CP3716 to several locations on its return journey to Prairie Valley. Some of the trackage has a decent opposing grade, resulting in some wonderful stack-talk as the crew wrangle their train upgrade. "The KVSR operates excursion trains over the only remaining section of the Kettle Valley Railway. This section runs from Faulder to Trout Creek, running through West Summerland and the Prairie Valley railway station. The line runs through beautiful vistas, orchards, vineyards, and over the 238-foot tall (73 m) Trout Creek Trestle. Trains are pulled by ex-Canadian Pacific 2-8-0 steam locomotive #3716 (N-2-b class), built in 1912." - Wikipedia (edited)
