The Railway From Nowhere to Nowhere

For decades, British Columbians had a nickname for it — not always kind: the railway from nowhere to nowhere. Chartered in 1912 to unify the province by rail, the Pacific Great Eastern collapsed financially within six years, got stranded for a decade without reaching either end of its own intended route, and somehow still drew magazine-reading tourists from across the continent for its scenery alone. This episode traces the line's difficult 1915 arrival in Lillooet, the steel bridge that finally routed it through downtown in 1931, the school car that carried children from Seton Portage every day, and the slow, quietly mourned end of the Budd Cars that were, for decades, this town's only public transit.
