Kamloops Heritage Railway – A Ride Through History.
The Kamloops Heritage Railway is a fun and exciting way to experience the history of trains in British Columbia. Located in downtown Kamloops, this railway brings the past to life with a real working steam train.
The star of the show is Steam Locomotive 2141, also known as the “Spirit of Kamloops.” This beautiful engine was built in 1912 and used to carry passengers and goods across Western Canada. It was fully restored by volunteers and now runs on special occasions during the year.
Visitors can enjoy heritage train rides during summer and holiday seasons. One of the most popular events is the Spirit of Christmas Train, where the train is decorated with lights and filled with festive cheer. During some rides, actors dressed in old-fashioned clothes tell stories, perform music, or create fun adventures for passengers. The Kamloops Heritage Railway is operated by a team of passionate staff and volunteers who care about preserving railway history. They also share the stories of the people who worked on the trains and how railways helped build the city of Kamloops.
Train rides usually start at the historic Kamloops railway station, which is close to restaurants, shops, and the riverside park. It’s a great outing for families, railway fans, or anyone who wants to try something different.
