Description
John Cowan worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway as a train conductor for 35 years, which included a stint working out of Penticton in 1984. John will share his unique knowledge and experiences of the latter years of the CP/KVR years of operations in the 1980s prior to the last train departing Penticton in May 1989. He will also share a brief history of what began the demise of the KVR in 1959 with the elimination of the line through the Coquihalla from Hope to Brodie (near Brookmere), and the end of passenger service in 1964.
