Canada - Mini Rail at West Coast Railway Museum
Squamish, BC - Presently there is over 4,000 feet of 7 1/2" gauge track in service, offering Heritage Park guests a 15 minute ride around the Park. Starting from Wilkie station, the trains head north to Sweet Apple station where the locomotive is wyed. The train then reverses direction, passing by Wilkie station and out into the woods past St. Paul's Chapel, through Rhodes Junction and out the new Phase Two area to Eagle View, then Main Street, Twin Cedars and back to Wilkie station.
The Railway opened in July, 1996 and has been an instant success. The first locomotive is a 1/8 scale replica of PGE No. 561 and when posed together "Mother and Daughter" make quite a sight. The locomotive and cars became part of the Christmas scene at Canada Place in Vancouver each year. More than 230,000 people have ridden these trains during the past four Christmas seasons!.
