Kamloops Heritage Railway's Steam Train
Spirit of Kamloops

2141 Steam TrainClimb aboard the beautifully restored 2141 'Spirit of Kamloops' and steam back into history. In the late spring and summer, take a one-hour tour departing from a 1927 restored CN station and cross the South Thompson River on a steel trestle bridge. You will travel to First Nations lands and past St. Joseph's Church, a historic site, before crossing Paul Creek on the way to the CN Junction. On our return trip there are many photo opportunities including Mount Paul and Mount Peter, sunset at the church, and on the trestle bridge once more. Experience railroading of old as we pick up a message using the old-fashioned hoop transfer method and are warned of masked riders seen in the area. One hundred years ago in 1906, the gentleman bandit Bill Miner and his gang robbed a train just outside of Kamloops and his ghost returns for a reenactment of the event on every trip!
