Scope and content
Photograph depicts the CPR line at Arawana, originally a depot and water stop, then a passing loop and now nothing. Note the left-hand track is the main line with the switch removed, and the right-hand track has been partially dismantled. It is sited 5 miles northeast of Penticton on the Carmi Subdivision, at mile 125.7 from Midway. The grade from Penticton to Arawana is 1 in 65, then 1 in 45 to Glenfir where to next loop is located. The line is used once or twice weekly by way freight trains. The rails in the photo are dated to 1913 and 85 lbs., so therefore must be the originals. The view is looking north and upgrade.
