Hi John,
The Great Northern also had a narrow gauge line. The Kaslo & Slocan Ry. was part of J.J. Hills battle with the Canadian Pacific to gain control over southern British Columbia. It was also the last narrow gauge home for Rio Grande Southern’s rotary snowplow #1.
So who won the battle for Southern British Columbia? As a clue, this same Rio Grande Southern Plow was later converted to standard gauge and ended it life clearing the Coquihalla Pass with Canadian Pacific Railway painted on the side.
