In 1895, in the remote West Kootenays of British Columbia, a narrow gauge railway was built to reach the richest silver mines in the world. By 1910 rampant development destroyed almost everything, a story still very relevant today. Click pics, read ALTs.

Time again for my pinned post about what the hell I’m trying to do here. This is an experiment in story-telling in a weird new media. The K&S was a dramatic but short-lived railway in the Victorian era. It's also a story about human endeavour, greed, ignorance, and maybe what we can learn from it.
