The most difficult season
of the Kettle Valley Railway was the line through the Coquihalla Pass.
After years of coping with sliders and washouts, the line was closed in
the winter of 1959-60, and officially abandoned two years later. Rails
were then removed, and the Coquihalla Division passed into history. However,
this high, curved, steel bridge still remains standing forty years later.
In this scene from the early 1950's, an eastbound passenger train, pulled
by two C.P.R. "Mikado" type locomotives, approaches the tunnel at the eastern
end of the bridge.
