Excerpt from page 30 of "B.C.'s Inland Empire" by Erskine Burnett associated with this image: There are a number of well-built residences on the slope above the station, and east of The Narrows a pleasant little town site has been laid out, hidden by foliage from passengers on the trains. Money has been voted for a bridge connecting the two settlements and an early start on this work is expected. Nobody hurries at Sicamous. For a few minutes all is bustle after the arrival of the transcontinental trains from east and west. Then the settlement drops back into its accustomed calm. Everyone has a boat and the stranger who cannot "talk fish" just "don't belong". One day Frank McMahon landed us at Nightingale Lodge directly across from Sicamous. This is a tourist and fishing camp formerly operated by the Nightingales but now, we believe, under new management.
