Powell River's Railway Era
Ken Bradley and Karen Southern

Powell River's Railway Era presents a wonderful album of railroading in a coastal area of British Columbia. From 1895 to 1955, logging camps, mines and quarries all used railways and they were fascinating ones. Narrow gauge and standard gauge operations employed a delightful range of vintage locomotives and specialized equipment. They left a lasting legacy in the Powell River area and on nearby Texada Island. This is their enduring and intriguing story illustrated with over a hundred vintage photographs and maps.
