Hi everyone , I would like to hear from anyone with knowledge of the Vancouver Bay area logging operations, specifically the early railway logging. I have heard there is some abandoned equipment up there and would like to confirm these rumours. Thanks

    I lived in Van Bay in the late forties/early fifties and don't recall seeing any railroad equipment. There was a company (Jerimiason (?spelling) that railroad logged in the thirties. In the late thirties they put everything on barges and took it up to the Queen Charlotte's. I don't know if this fact, but that was the story in camp at the time, so I may be mistaken.

    Still the odd piece of railway along the mainline but no other iron as far as i know.
