V&S Railway by Darryl Muralt |
The V&S
Railway was a short line (16 miles) that ran on the Saanich Peninsula from 1892-1919. The line had a marginal existence and ended up as a subsidiary of the Great Northern in 1902 before going bankrupt. Locally it was known as the "Cordwood Limited" and served mainly the local populace. This is a story of great expectations, shrewd business and political dealing. The author has won a number of awards for his works and we are privileged to be able to offer this well documented book. The book contains 150 photos and maps. |
