Canadian Railroads > End of the Line on BC RailDate: 08/23/16 10:35 End of the Line on BC Rail Author: loleta This is as far north as you can go: end of track in Fort Nelson, BC, 980 miles from North Vancouver. On August 12, BCOL 4651 gets pretty close.
More to come. Loleta Fernbridge   Date: 08/23/16 11:14 Re: End of the Line on BC Rail Author: joemvcnj Is that the line that was once speculated to go to Alaska ?

Surveyors had determined the highway route was too steeply graded for a railway. The Dease Lake line also has coal deposits which could be developed in the future.
