The Wooden Trestles of the Southern Interior are loved by all the Hikers and Cylcists who make the trip over the Kettle Valley Railroad section of the Trans Canada Trail every year. The Okanagan fires consumed six wooden trestles on this historic railway line around Kelowna. Contruction to rebuild them is ongoing. We had some English Military come and rebuild some of the trestles around Christina Lake. I can imagine the original construction of them would have been a harrowing experience for your Grand Dad, but as one who has treked and cycled over these trestles, we are very thankful that they did such a fine job for us to enjoy all these years later. |
