Welcome to Skeena Pacific Railway , a major link in the North American rail system. The S.P.R. moves oil, coal, timber, containerised shipments and the necessities of life between Alaska, Northwest Canada and the rest of North America. Skeena Pacific Railway was chartered in British Columbia in 1876 as the Pacific, Northern and Omenica Railroad, it owns rights of way, port and other transportation facilities in British Columbia, Canada and has track rights in other jurisdictions across North America.
Skeena Pacific Railway is privately held as a wholly-owned, ¹/₂₉^th scale subsidiary of Skeena Pacific Consolidated, a Gilham family enterprise.
Well, that's the story and I'm sticking to it! Though it started out in 1/87th scale (HO), it does have a history based on 1:1 scale-fact and a future, in our garden, on Gauge One tracks. This website tells the story of Skeena Pacific Railway in two different dimensions.
Skeena Pacific Railway - A History in North America (also available as a pdf file) is the story of the railway from its inception in 1876.	Skeena Pacific Railway - Garden *Edition* is the pictorial story of our garden rails

We started the Technical Pages, to explain away some of the methods used to build and maintain our garden railway. Some are successful, some not so much. The story of my 'career' in model railroading, such as it is, is aptly titled "The Gory Details" If you come up against a page not working properly, please email me.
