As chief engineer of the Kettle Valley Railway, Andrew McCulloch is credited with accomplishing the impossible—connecting the BC Coast with the Southern Interior via rail. A marvel of engineering, in part due to the difficult construction of the Myra Canyon Trestles and Quintette Tunnels, the KVR is aptly referred to as ‘McCulloch’s Wonder’.
