Fairview). In December 1899, the inaugural streetcar (tram) ran southwestward from a terminus at the adjacent Cottonwood St. and First St. intersection to the then Railway St. and Baker St. intersection (now BC Highway 3A)/Baker St.), which served the C&K station at the former foot of Railway. In April 1900, the tramway hill section commenced. This line turned from Kootenay St. northeastward into Houston St, terminating at the Stanley St. intersection, requiring a walk from the closest point to the N&FS Mountain station. To create the Nelson–Procter spur in 1900, CP bought the Nelson–Troup right-of-way from N&FS, which received trackage rights on this section. In January 1901, on the opening of the new CP C&K station (now the visitor centre), two blocks southwest of the former station, the N&FS terminal moved from Bogustown to share this facility, and the tramway was extended along the Baker St. alignment adjacent to this point. That same day, the final part of the hill route changed, turning northeastward on Observatory St. and south eastward on Stanley St. to the previous terminus. The new CP station became the northwestern terminus for this route. However, from May 1901, unless requested by a passenger, or meeting the 11:35 am or 10:10 pm trains, the tramway terminus became Stanley/Baker streets. In 1902, the tramway extension to the station was abandoned, which was likely the time that the two tramway routes were combined into a single through route. In November 1910, the final part of the hill section reopened as a loop. Uphill was Stanley St, Latimer St, Hendryx St, Carbonate St, Cedar St, and Innes St, with the downhill return unchanged. The amended route offered a short walk from the closest point to the N&FS Mountain station. When the tramway ceased in June 1949, the replacement bus route appears to have been no closer than Josephine St. to this station. All train stations In 1951, passenger train service ceased, leaving only Auto Interurban (assumedly in association with Greyhound) bus travel via Trail, which followed a completely different route. The former route became freight only. Operators & abandonment On July 1, 1898, the Northern Pacific Railway (NP) acquired the SF&N. On June 30 1899, the Great Northern Railway (GN) purchased the NP stock. The GN was consolidated into the Burlington Northern Railroad (BN) in 1970, which merged to become the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) in 1996.
