Kimberley Underground Mining Railway Take a short walk to the Sullivan Mine Powerhouse for a guided tour featuring the huge compressors and generators that used to power the mine before boarding the train again to learn more about Kimberley and enjoy spectacular scenery and glimpses of the occasional wild life as you travel back to the station. Explore the Orpheum Theatre, the North Star Schoolhouse, the Miner’s Cabin and the Caboose as part of your adventure into history. The Cranbrook History Centre The Cranbrook History Centre rail collection includes the 7 cars of the 1929 “Trans-Canada Limited” (a classic “Jazz Era Art Deco” design), 2 cars of the 1907 “Soo-Spokane Train” (a deluxe example of “Edwardian Art Nouveau Elegance”),
and the 1887 “Pacific Express.” This was a Victorian-era train representing the first transcontinental service in Canada. Also featured at the Cranbrook History Centre are the Cranbrook Museum, the Cranbrook Archives, the Royal Alexander Hall, and a Model Railway room. Fort Steele Heritage Town The Fort Steele Steam Railway is an operating museum, which interprets the experience of branch-line rail travel to the logging, mining and ranching communities of the East Kootenay. Ride on the steam train and see historic railway equipment and stationary steam engines displayed outside the engine house. Our vintage locomotive “1077” is a source of fascination for many of our visitors and for Hollywood: it has been used in several movies shot north of the border.
