Geocache Description:


The railway bed that the North Star Trail is on was built to haul the ore from the Sullivan mine in Kimberley to the main line in Cranbrook and then to the smelter in Trail. This spur of the rail system was originally built in 1899. A branch of the CPR rail line was brought to Kimberley from Cranbrook over the St. Mary’s River near the mouth of Perry Creek. With the railway moving in, The McGinty trail that ran down the North Star and through the middle of town was terminated. At the time The Sullivan Mine employed only 35 men.
