Is it all over for trains on the abandoned E&N Rail line stretching 289 kilometres along Vancouver Island?
Alastair Craighead, Chair of Friends of Rails to Trails Vancouver Island, thinks so, and is one of many people working with regional districts, municipalities, businesses and land-owning First Nations to convert these derelict tracks into a world-class trail network.
Peter Ladner talks with him about the millions of dollars already invested in planning this cycle route, and what has to happen to complete it.

Check out Friends of Rails to Trains Vancouver Island HERE and be sure to watch their delightful video.
