Viewing Album:  Kimberley Underground Mining Railway (KUMR / BCMR)
 
By:Dave Stewart-Candy
Dates:8/19/2022 - 8/19/2022
Album Info:Kimberley Underground Mining Railway (KUMR) is owned and operated by the non-profit Sullivan Miqe and Railway Historical Society, and has been evolving for nearly 40 years. The project originated with the desire to have a commuter train running between the Platzl and the Kimberley Alpine Resort, to help link the resort base with the downtown core. Bavarian City Mining Railway (BCMR) became operational in 1994 and consisted of a 2km track which journeyed to the ski hill and circled the Happy Hans Campground, the local campground at the time. Over the next decade, the tour evolved to include a primary focus on mining history and education, as well as the unique inclusion of underground facilities. The immense undertaking of drilling a 750-foot tunnel began in 2006, which developed to house the Sullivan Mine Interpretive Centre. During the fall of 2006, the final preparation of the railbed, laying of the rails, and construction of the underground facilities were completed.
