Kamloops Heritage Railway Society provides operations update
KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Heritage Railway Society presented to council highlighting requirements, strategies and plans to resume service in future.
In Tuesday’s (Nov. 21) council meeting, the society showcased the steps necessary in order to continue operating, following their closing due to zoning issues with the city of Kamloops on May 10, 2023.
This organization strives to maintain railway history by providing a variety of experiences with the use of a legendary 2141 locomotive and exhibiting various pieces of vintage equipment and rolling stock at Heritage Park.
The Kamloops Heritage Railway is currently zoned T1 (Railway), which prohibits the use of a train station lending itself to the allowance of a museum type atmosphere or public gathering.
