Steamtown Special History Study CANADIAN STEAM LOCOMOTIVES It is not the purpose of this study to deal in depth with the history of the railroads whose locomotives are in the Steamtown collection, but a brief characterization of the two principal Canadian railroad systems whose locomotives are numbered among those in Scranton is appropriate. One might suppose that this narrative has nothing to do with United States history, and that the locomotives of Canadian railways, especially a government-owned Canadian railway, and locomotives built in Canada, have no place in an American railroad museum operated by the United States National Park Service. However, a number of historic factors undercut any such assumption. Perhaps least significant, many Americans involved themselves in the building and operating of Canadian railroads. William Cornelius Van Home, who built the Canadian Pacific across the great Pacific Coast mountain ranges, is only one example of an American in Canadian employ, though perhaps the most notable one. Michael Heney, who became a distinguished railroad engineer, was another American who worked on the Canadian Pacific. Somewhat more important, although Canada established an efficient locomotive-building industry of its own, its locomotive works tended to follow American practice so that most Canadian-built locomotives were similar in appearance to American-built locomotives, in vivid contrast to the extreme physical differences between American and Canadian locomotives on the one hand and European locomotives on the other. Furthermore, while the Canadian government and the Canadian Pacific owned some American railroads, for many years the American Locomotive Company owned and controlled the Montreal Locomotive Works. In more than one sense, then, the Canadian locomotive-building industry was an extension of the American locomotive-building industry.

A BRIEF HISTORY KETTLE VALLEY STEAM RAILWAY British Columbia and its many resources, joined the Confederation of Canada with the promise of a railway that would come into BC, thus extending the rails from sea to sea. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) arrived in BC in 1885, fourteen years after the province became a part of Canada. Unfortunately the CPR was initially of little use to the people of Southern BC where mineral deposits like silver, were being discovered. It was all too easy for BC's American neighbours to help themselves to the province's riches and haul them away on their own railroads which seemed to be cropping up everywhere. (Right. West Summerland Station, 1924. Courtesy of the Summerland Museum) But this was a long trip to the coast or points east for people living in the South Okanagan and the demand came about for a "Coast-to-Kootenay" connection. Although rails were being laid by the CPR in other parts of BC, it was an American railroader, J.J. Hill who was making headway in the southern part of the province. He was trying to bring a rail line up from Spokane through Oroville and eventually this was accomplished with the acquisition the Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern Railway, a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railroad. It arrived in Keremeos in 1907, and in Hedley and Princeton two years later. The CPR, which was now under the leadership of Thomas Shaughnessy, had created the Columbia & Western Railway through the Crow’s Nest Pass to Midway. They had also put down track for the Nicola, Kamloops and Similkameen Railway.
