Myra Station

As visitors enter the Myra Station parking lot, they pass by what was the location of Myra Station on the Kettle Valley Railway.

Three KVR stations were named for daughters of railway men.  Myra station honours Myra Newman, daughter of track foreman “Doc” Newman, though little is known of her.

In the late 1920s Myra Station became a bustling transshipment point for a logging operation. The large parking lot is present today because of this activity.

The photo from 1929 shows two KVR rail lines. One is the mainline and the other is a passing track.

Today the remains of Myra Station have long disappeared into the mists of history
