Hi Richard,
I used to live in Kamloops so keep track of local rail stuff,or so I thought.An old friend used to do this run way back and I thought it had been abandoned by CN.I guess not!Do they still run on CP to Campbell Creek then head south?
Thanks for posting,Alan.

Hell Alan,
Yes you are correct. The Okanagan freight runs on the Shuswap sub as far as Campbell Creek and then heads south towards Vernon. At Vernon the Lumby sub goes east to Lavington and the Okanagan sub used to continue to Kelowna. Unfortunately the Kelowna section was removed in 2016 and has since become a multi-use trail.
