V&S: The Victoria and Sidney Railway 1892 - 1919 / The BC British Columbia Railway Historical Society V & S Railroad / Trains
Victoria British Columbia: Victoria B.C.: The BC British Columbia Railway Historical Society / Sono Nis Press No Date 1992 1st edition First Printing 1992. -----------softcover about 8 x 11 inches a Near Fine copy 235 pages b&w photos ---"It began as part of a dream -a dream to directly connect lower Vancouver Island to the transcontinental lines by rail and ferry. While that expectation was fulfilled for some its continued existence became a nightmare. Its schedule was by no means punctual. The roadbed and equipment received minimal maintenance. Some of its station facilities defined the word "rustic". Its owners were content to ask the Victoria and provincial governments for annual interest guarantee payments. There was little incentive for it to be profitable. But for two decades beginning in the 1890s the "Cordwood Limited" as it came to be known was the only service apart from rural dirt roads that Saanich Peninsula residents had for travelling to and from Victoria or for shipping and receiving farm products and other goods. --The V & S Railway was one of Great Northern's more obscure and most charming rail operations. A classic pioneer shortline built in the late 1800s it was in continuous use from 1892-1919 coming under the aegis of the GN system in 1902. Even as shortlines go the V & S was definitely short: from mudsill to stringer and from the Sidney wharf to the market station in Victoria it never aggregated much more than 16 miles! Its importance lay not in the achievement or failure of some grand scheme but in its simple utility as a carrier of people and goods. --This is a story of great expectations shrewd business and political dealing. At the same time it gives a glimpse of the early growth of the Saanich Peninsula and the town of Sidney. "--- any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine see description. Illus. by George Williamson Cover Art .
