Canada's only steam-operated locomotives, the beautifully-restored 2860 and 3716, take travelers along more than 60 kilometres of spectacularly scenic Howe Sound from North Vancouver to Squamish.

(The 2850 Hudson drew King George VI and Queen Elizabeth across Canada in 1939, and the King was so impressed with its power he gave his approval for the Hudson locomotives to carry the "Royal" designation.) At Squamish you can visit the West Coast Railway Heritage Museum, with more than 50 locomotives.
