We’d love to extend a locomotive sized thank-you to GardenWorks Penticton for supporting the Kettle Valley Steam Railway Society!

Thanks to their generous discount and flower donation, our Prairie Valley Station and Canyon View platforms look more beautiful than ever.

Community partnerships like this keep our heritage railway blooming. Please show them some love for your next gardening project! 💐❤️🚂

✨🚂 The first Great Train Robbery of the season has officially departed the station! 🚂✨

Our most popular event is back for another year of excitement. Join us for a 2-hour adventure as the infamous Garnet Valley Gang robs passengers, followed by a delicious meal.

All spare change collected during the robbery is donated to local charities!

We’re thrilled to have this action-packed experience back on the rails and can’t wait to welcome everyone aboard!

✨ Big news for the Kettle Valley Steam Railway ✨

We are grateful to share that the District of Summerland has presented a $150,000 grant-in-aid to the Kettle Valley Railway Society in support of our ongoing preservation work.

This funding will go directly toward critical repairs on the Trout Creek Trestle walkway, helping ensure safe public access for years to come and keeping this historic attraction safe and accessible for all.

Thank you to the District of Summerland for supporting heritage, tourism, and community connection ❤️
