Aha! You obviously haven't got a copy of my book KETTLE VALLEY RAILWAY
MILEBOARDS or you'd already know the answer to your questions. :>)
Rhone was never more than it is right now. It had a small rural school for
many years and a small sawmill or two, but it was never a town in the usual
sense of the word, but rather a settlement. There was never any sort of
railway facility there beyond a passing track, sectionhouse, sectionmen's
bunkhouse and tool shed. I can't imagine what tracks you would have seen
other than the main line and the passing track.

Subject: [cpsig] KVR - RHONE
Years ago I walked the old townsite of Rhone on the KVR, it is located just north of Rock Creek. I remember seeing a few tracks still in place that gave the impression that there was likely a shop and small roundhouse located on this site.
There is in the BC Archives a picture of the log schoolhouse located here as well. The picture is dated 1945.
Are there any other ictures available of this site.
