Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway:
an Authentic Tourist Attraction
Nestled in the Rocky Mountain Trench in the East Kootenay Region of B.C. is the City of Kimberley; the home of the historic Sullivan Mine and the Underground Mining Railway. The Kimberley Underground Mining Railway is owned and operated by the Sullivan Mine and Railway Historical Society. The Kimberley mining railway has been in existence, in one form or another, for 25 years and has developed into a unique tourist attraction.
Visit us and ride the rails through the beautiful Mark Creek valley as you listen to the history of Kimberley and the Sullivan Mine. Experience life as a miner at the Underground Interpretive Centre. Participate in our mining show and be exposed to working mine equipment. Join us for a short walk to the Sullivan Mine Powerhouse for a guided tour. Board the train again and learn more about Kimberley and enjoy spectacular scenery and glimpses of the occasional wild life as you travel back to the station. Departures at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. New this summer, we will be offering an Express Train Ride on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. for those who "just like to ride the train". Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway will not be able to travel to the Kimberley Alpine Resort during the 2010 season due to the construction of the Convention Centre. Hopefully we will be able to offer tours to the new Resort Station in 2011. Explore the Orpheum Theatre, the North Star Schoolhouse, the Miner’s Cabin and the Caboose as part of your adventure into history.
