Kaslo and Slocan Railway - Route

Route

The railway climbed steeply (3.35%) out of Kaslo to the first bench and then the pass at Bear Lake. From there the railway stayed level as it rounded Payne Bluff above the 'Three Forks' confluence and on to Sandon on Carpenter Creek. Branch lines served the Cody mines higher up the valley above Sandon. Riblet tramway brought silver ore down to mill and K and S siding. The line suffered from several steep sections as well as tight curves.

Famous quotes containing the word route:

    A Route of Evanescence
    With a revolving Wheel—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.
    Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
