Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway
Kimberley, BC - Nestled in the Rocky Mountain Trench in the East Kootenay Region of B.C. is the City of Kimberley; the home of the historic Sullivan Mine and the Underground Mining Railway. The Kimberley Underground Mining Railway is owned and operated by the Sullivan Mine and Railway Historical Society. The Kimberley mining railway has been in existence, in one form or another, for 28 years and has developed into a unique tourist attraction.
Visit us and ride the rails through the beautiful Mark Creek valley as you listen to the history of Kimberley and the Sullivan Mine. Learn about life as a miner at the Underground Interpretive Centre as our miner guide will describe hard rock mining and demonstrate some of the equipment used in the Sullivan Mine. Join us for a short walk to the Sullivan Mine Powerhouse for a guided tour featuring the huge compressors and generators that powered the mine. Board the train again to learn more about Kimberley and enjoy spectacular scenery and glimpses of the occasional wild life as you travel back to the station.

Moseley Railway Trust
The Museum's aim is to give you an insight into an unusual aspect of British Industrial Heritage; the Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway . Often hidden away in unusual locations, these self-contained transport systems were until recently in widespread use
throughout Britain. During the past 25 years, as nearly all of these systems have fallen out of use, we have sought to collect for our museum a selection of narrow gauge equipment representative of the railways to be found in the United Kingdom.
