Photograph taken looking north, with a spur in the foreground. It was used by ore mixed freight daily. It was believed that at the bottom of the grade was a junction with a GNR branch that ran from the US border south of Creston to Kootenay Lake (built in 1904, then was hardly used, finally ceased in 1910).

It was likely that the rail was only used at night. Originally built by Canadian Northern Railway to reach Steveston, circa 1917.
