Description: Abstract from the back cover: Over a century ago, railways began to creep into the Okanagan Valley. They clattered and roared, whistled, fumed, and thundered. More people and more goods went faster and farther than ever before. Where railways went, steamboats, orchards, roads, mills, and mines soon followed. This magazine is about how railways transformed life in the Okanagan - for better and for worse. Please see page 20 for full acknowledgements
