Railway routes through Hope Mountains rival Fraser Canyon debate
A writer argues coast papers misjudge a Nicola Similkameen route to Vancouver, citing two confirmed passes and a possible third with grades around 2.1 to 2.2 percent. He contends the Kamloops Nicola Hope corridor offers shorter, cheaper construction and greater tonnage potential than the Fraser Canyon path, urging rail competition.
