In 1972 the British Columbia Railway was incorporated from the Pacific Great Eastern Railway that had itself been incorporated in 1912. The history of the PGE is a tumultuous, scandalous, almost depressing story of a railway that for so long began in the southern wilds of British Columbia and ended in the interior parklands known as the Cariboo. Its conception was as a branchline of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway from Prince George to the deepwater port of Vancouver in competition with the Canadian Northern mainline. It became a political football, and the downfall of many a career in provincial politics, only reaching its conceived initial goals in 1956!
