Myra Station

As you enter the parking lot, you 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.

There are two rail lines visible in the photo.  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.
