Tourist operations of Kettle Valley Steam Railway officially began on September 17, 1995. The KVSR operates
excursion trains over the only remaining section of the
Kettle Valley Railway. This section runs from Faulder to
Trout Creek, running through West Summerland and the
Prairie Valley railway station. The line runs through vistas, orchards, vineyards, and over the
Trout Creek Trestle. Trains are operated from spring through fall each year and include special events such as the "Great Train Robbery" and "Christmas Express". Trains are pulled by ex-
Canadian Pacific 2-8-0 steam locomotive 3716 (
N-2-b class), built in 1912. The railway also has an
ALCO S-6 diesel electric locomotive (originally
Southern Pacific 1050, more recently owned by
Portland Terminals, then
Neptune Bulk Terminals in
North Vancouver).{{cite web |url=http://www.kettlevalleyrail.org/about-us/locomotives/ |website=Kettle Valley Railway |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151218071649/http://www.kettlevalleyrail.org/about-us/locomotives/ |archivedate=December 18, 2015 ==Locomotives==
