Othello Tunnels, Kettle Valley Railway

Othello Tunnels, Kettle Valley Railway

In the early 1900s, the Canadian Pacific Railway decided a route was necessary to link the Kootenay Region with the BC coast by rail. In the Coquihalla Gorge, a straight line of tunnels were built through it which are known now as the Othello Tunnels, which is located in the Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park, which is located north of Hope, British Columbia. This park highlights the Kettle Valley Railway grade that passes through the canyon and 5 tunnels which were built in 1914.
