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,
1/29th
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.
I must
apologise to those who have come to this site expecting more, new
information. While I am getting it up-to-date, perhaps I can mollify
your distress by pointing you to my
YouTube
Page which has a number of newer (and older) videos of
Skeena Pacific Railway.
Thank you for your patience.

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. |
