The result was the building of 500 kilometres of rail over and through three mountain ranges. Today the KVR is alive again, thanks to a dedicated society, financial assistance from governments, and the co-operation of the BC Forest Museum. The train is boarded at the Prairie Valley Station which features The Trout Creek Trading Co. , our unique gift shop in the Prairie Valley Station offering a selection of railway-theme souvenirs and gifts. The Rail s End concession offers light lunches and a variety of snack and drink items and there is also a snack bar on board the train. All KVR facilities are wheelchair accessible.
Catering services are available when booked in advance.
The Kettle Valley Steam Railway is operated by the Kettle Valley Railway Society, a non-profit, charitable organization that welcomes memberships in order to continue the restoration of this important national historic site.
