Here is a selection of views taken around the Open Air Museum at Fort Steele. The location must be one of the most spectacular of any such museum, and consists of an original town, with additions in the form of extra buildings and the 4km railway line. Adjacent to the site is the ‘national network’ carrying regular coal, grain and potash trains, often consisting of 150 wagons with locomotives at the front, rear and in the middle of the trains.

Fort Steele was a goldrush town, deprived of expansion by the railway choosing nearby Cranbrook as its main destination. Fort Steele carried on however, and had residents until fairly recent times. It was saved as a heritage park for British Columbia and attracts some 150,000 visitors per annum. Dunrobin and other locomotives (a prairie and Shay) have worked the running line, a dumbbell loop, for some 40 years, taking visitors up to a viewing platform at the far end of the run.
