About This Item
McCulloch's Wonder: The Story of the Kettle Valley Railway, Sanford, Barrie. Published by Whitecap Books, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2002. Revised 25th Anniversary Edition. Glossy card covers. 288 pp. with maps, illustrations, index and notes. In fine, unread condition with very light shelf wear to covers.
The new edition of McCulloch's Wonder provides train buffs with a long-awaited update to a classic railway history. New visuals capture the dramatic landscape that had to be conquered to complete the railway. Updated sources provide more information about the individuals, from Andrew McCulloch himself to the laborers who made the railway a reality. Governments rose and fell over the project, which linked the Kootenay Mountains with the Pacific Coast, and the railway dominated headlines for a quarter of a century.
