Timber Down the Capilano
A History of the Capilano Timber Company on Vancouver's North Shore
David M. Rees-Thomas
![]() |
All across the continent, loggers were building railroads into impossible places to reach previously inaccessible timber. This seemed to be the answer for the Capilano. FROM THE INTRODUCTION This brief history recalls the Capilano Timber Company's legacy in BC. More than fifty miles of railroad was laid down; over 400 million feet of high grade timber was taken out; and millions of dollars were expended locally on wages, supplies, and equipment. Illustrated with numerous photographs, tables and maps.
