Okanagan. Filmwest Associates. 24 min.
Climb aboard the Kettle Valley Steam Railway, the starting
point to explore the region of southern British Columbia. This film gives a
good idea of what it is like to ride the modern-day KVR through the Summerland
area. An overview of the history of the KVR is given through brief interviews
and the use of black and white photographs.
Good
resource.
