Kettle Falls International Railway

The Kettle Falls International Railway (reporting mark KFR) is a shortline railroad in the U.S. state of Washington and the Canadian province of British Columbia.

The 77.1-mile (124.1 km) Kettle Falls–Grand Forks–San Poil western fork was a section of the original line built by GN under the VV&E charter for BC, and the Washington and Great Northern Railway (W&GN) charter for WA.
