The Nakusp and Slocan Railway (N&S) is a historic Canadian railway that operated in southeastern British Columbia.
Its line ran between Nakusp, New Denver, British Columbia and Sandon, British Columbia in the Kootenay region of British Columbia.
The railway operated a steamship service on the Arrow Lakes at Nakusp, which connected with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) mainline at Revelstoke). It also operated a steamship service on Slocan Lake at Rosebery, which connected with the CPR's Columbia and Kootenay Railway (C&K) at Slocan City.
The line was extended to Kaslo with the purchase of the Kaslo and Slocan Railway in 1912.
Famous quotes containing the word railway:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
