Our latest publication is a three-book comprehensive history on the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway, on Vancouver Island, that commenced operation in 1886 as an extension to Canadian Pacific's transcontinental railway that terminated unexpectedly in Vancouver. Currently, our major projects are: Documenting and scanning a recently acquired collection of negatives and colour slides depicting early B.C. Railway history, and also the Dave Wilkie collection of colour slides held in safe keeping at the West Coast Railsway Association Museum at Squamish.
