> > Anyone know any defunct railroads for Canada and more to the point BC?
Sure. Past God's Endurance is one, and a whole scad of logging roads existed
(Brooks Scalon(?) and so on...) (PGE-Pacific Great Eastern, former name of BC
Rail). You could always use one of the Mackenzie railway names too...
My copy of "CN Steam Power" lists the following 2 railways as becoming part of
CNR, Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and Canadian Northern Railway
Unfortunately, my book on Logging railways only gives US names-some are great
though...
Arcata & Mad River
Yellow Jacket Rly
Bridges & Floyd
Mosquito & Coal Creek RR
(This was a short perusal...)
> Esquimault and Nanaimo??? Are they defunct?
Nope, still alive (sort of...it's a division of CP, with operations by
Railtrax(?) and Via.
> White Pass and Yukon? They aren't defunct... and aren't even in the same
> province, but at least they're western and memorable.
I don't even think they are running into _canada_ right now...I know that the
company is a _interesting_ one, because it was a british company, with a US
subsiduary, running mostly in Canada...
