It uses a rail corridor that was originally built by the Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway.
The Railway was built by American DC Corbin in the late 1800s in response to the silver rush that was occurring in the West Kootenays.
It parallels the Salmo River for the majority of its length and passed through several small communities along its route.
