Thank you for your comment, Charlie. From what I have read, the C-liner was retired in serviceable condition but I doubt it's a runner after sitting for so long. Maybe one day it will be fully restored.
The next day we took a side trip to Kaslo, which is about an hour's drive north of Nelson, along Kootenay lake.
Kaslo is the home of:
The SS Moyie, which is the oldest surviving sternwheeler in the world. Launched in 1898 and retired in 1957. Kaslo purchased the ship and placed it on a concrete berth to protect it.
It's an ongoing restoration project. Something this old will need constant care. Unfortunately it is closed to the public in the off-season so all I was able to get were outside shots.
There is also a rebuilt replica of the CPR station and a Caboose parked outside.
