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.

Departures at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m.

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".

Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway will not be able to travel to the Kimberley Alpine Resort during the 201l season due to the rebuilding of the track leading to the resort and the construction of the Resort Station. Hopefully we will be able to offer tours to the new Resort Station in 2012.

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

Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway is now closed for the season. Our thanks go out to our passengers, our summer staff and to our amazing devoted volunteers. 

We now have a Facebook page.  Just for fun, check out our page and enter our KUMR Winter Contest!

There are two ways to win:

1. Post a picture (any media, but must be appropriate for viewing by all age groups) or a photo of our mascot, Happy Hans, on our Facebook page.

2. "Like" us on Facebook or vote for your favorite entry.

Winners will have their choice of a one-of-a-kind KUMR Totebag, T-shirt or pillow and, of course, a couple of complementary train tickets.

See you in spring when we will be offering both Mining tours and Express Rides to the Resort!
