The volunteers run this train. You learn about the history of the area during the short run out to the north shore, it goes over to the reservation on the other side of the Thompson River. We did this when we first moved to Kamloop and had a hoot! More

We've been both in summer and winter (for Xmas train); both great. Wrap up REALLY warm for the winter trips as the trains are unheated and freezing cold. More

Really novel visit to an attraction that has been lovingly restored by a team of enthusiasts - young and not so young. They couldn't have been more welcoming and the "hold-up" by the highway robbers was great fun too. Youngsters will love this More

These folks are great and their steam engine is superb. The trip is not long in duration, but it is a great way to spend an evening. Going a Christmas is a especially fun. More

We visited Kamloops for Canada Day 2009, and decided to ride on the steam train. I would recommend it for the excurtion, but it was not the best venue for watching the Canada day fireworks. More
