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 28 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. Learn about life as a miner at the Underground Interpretive Centre as our miner guide will describe hard rock mining and demonstrate some of the equipment used in the Sullivan Mine. Join us for a short walk to the Sullivan Mine Powerhouse for a guided tour featuring the huge compressors and generators that powered the mine. Board the train again to learn more about Kimberley and enjoy spectacular scenery and glimpses of the occasional wild life as you travel back to the station.

Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway will now be able to travel to the Kimberley Alpine Resort  at 11:00 daily during the 2012 season.

Departures at 11:00 a.m. (Mining Tour or Resort Tour), 1:00 p.m. & 3:00 p.m. (Mining Tours)

Again 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".

Explore the Orpheum Theatre, the North Star Schoolhouse, the Miner’s Cabin and the Caboose as part of your adventure into history.

We now have a Facebook page.  Just for fun, check out our page and keep up with what's happening.

KUMR will open weekends starting on the Victoria Day weekend, May 19, 10 & 21, and continue through June. Daily service will begin June 30 and continue until the end of the Labour Day weekend.

We will be offering both Mining Tours (11:00, 1:00 and 3:00) and Express Rides (11:00) to the Resort!

New this year, we will be  offering a scenic ride to the Resort each day at 11:00 a.m.  This trip will give riders some choices.  Those wishing to do the regular mining tour will leave the train in the Underground Interpretive Centre while those wishing to do the scenic tour will stay on the train and continue on to the Kimberley Alpine Resort.  At the Resort Station riders may choose to leave the train and either bike back down or walk down on one of the many trails available and keep their ticket to ride one way another day, or they may stay on the train and continue the loop back through the tunnel where we will pick up the people from the mining tour and continue to the Sullivan Mine Powerhouse.  Passengers will depart the train and head to the Powerhouse for a guided tour before heading back to the Downtown Station.

The 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. trips will continue to be mining tours and we will still be offering the Express Train Ride on Sundays at 10:00 a.m.
