Kelowna Pacific Railway {{reporting mark|KPR}} was a short-line railroad, formerly a Canadian National Railway line, leased by Knighthawk Rail. The KPR’s line ran from Kelowna to Kamloops through the Okanagan Valley. Operations started on 30 January 2000, and ended on 5 July 2013, when the company entered receivership.

The mainline track was {{convert|167.7|km|mi|abbr=on}}, with an additional {{convert|10.3|km|mi|abbr=on}} of associated spurs and sidings. In addition {{convert|41.2|km|mi|abbr=on}} of running rights of Canadian Pacific Railway were held by KPR. It also connected with CN's Kamloops Rail Yard.[1] In between Vernon and Armstrong/Lumby, the Canadian Pacific Railway shared the line with the KPR, although no trains are currently run by CPR along that line.

The company entered receivership on July 5, 2013,[2] with all operations suspended.

On September 26, 2013, CN announced that it had reached agreements with a major shipper and two locals of the Teamsters union that would allow CN to resume operations over most of the Kelowna Pacific. CN said it planned to abandon the line between Lumby Junction and Kelowna.[3][4]

Operations

KPR transported over 16,000 carloads per year.{{when|date=March 2018}} Most of the goods transported by the KPR are wood products; although grain, cement, scrap metal and industrial products could be seen. As of 2011, the KPR ran trains 5 days per week, with the schedule as follows:

  • Kelowna: Monday and Wednesday (Trains staying overnight and return to Vernon on Tuesday and Thursday)
