Kettle Valley Steam Railway, Different Angles
Author: BCR4619

On our way back from vacation a few weeks back we stopped in Summerland, BC to see old friend CPR 2-8-0 3716 in action on the old Kettle Valley Line.

Unfortunately KVSR does not have a means of Wyeing the steam engine so it drags the equipment down to Trout Creek Trestle where she drops her trains and runs around it before heading back to Prairie Valley Station but not before there are generous selfie taking opportunities!

Well if nobody knew who I was before... now you do!

3617 Works hard as she brings her passengers back towards the station.

Last but not least here is the inner workings of the beast... Eric is seen here cracking the throttle to get her moving up to track speed again.

Hope you enjoyed the photos, thanks!

Thanks!

Canon EOS 30D / 10-22mm lens....

I always shoot in .raw which gives you many more options when it comes to processing.

Gorgeous photos!

It says something about the high standards of the operation when the hogger can come to work in a white T shirt....... 3716 looks very well cared for.
