700 KM of Rail that Never Saw A Single Train. Abandoned & Forgotten. Destination Adventure
Abandoned places have always fascinated me - the stories they hold, the lives they have seen come and go, but this one is a little different. This rail line is nearly 700 km long, and was built to connect Northern BC to the rest of the province rail system. The entire rail grad, including this massive bridge was laid, constructed and levelled, but just several km before completion, the entire project was abandoned. This was at a massive cost to the country, coming in at more than 2 billion dollars in todays value.
What is the most strange to me, is that it has basically become forgotten. With all of the large scale mining happening in northern BC, especially in this particular area, the infrastructure for a rail line has been hidden in the forest for half a century, but nobody has taken advantage of the opportunity.
Fuel is expensive in the north, food is expensive in the north, everything is expensive in the north, all because it costs so much to ship goods that far. In fact, things are so
