1. It’s a pleasant spring morning in 1983, as the Nelson Turn heads out
of the Kettle Falls yard led by GP38-2 #2092. The turn passes the Kettle
Falls depot. This train’s crew is prepared for its three-day, 208 mile trip
up the branch line from Kettle Falls, WA to Nelson, British Columbia, on
the route known as the Nelson Line.
The scratchbuilt depot is a replica of the one that was in Kettle Falls
until the late 80’s. This structure earned first place at the junior cat-
egory contest at the 2012 National Narrow Gauge Convention. The
model and photo are the work of
David Stringfellow.
