"Train to Nowhere"
The last time that trains rolled over these tracks was in 2011. Previously, trains serviced the south half of Vancouver Island , some 230 km. from Victoria, up to Courtenay. This rail line had a very complicated history, too lengthy to go into here, but in short, through mismanagement by private interests, governments, and long held indigenous concerns, rail lines on the island unfortunately ceased to exist, but the tracks remain.
