railway, water tower, rail-trail, Kettle Valley Railway (KVR), interesting place
This octagonal water tower was used for filling steam locomotives on both the former Kettle Valley Railway and the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railway. As a result, it was unique in having a spout on each side to permit use by either railway. The watertower was relocated from its former location for preservation, and is one of the very few remaining in Canada.
