| The "Nakusp" at Arrowhead, around 1896. The train is on a spur of the recently completed line from Revelstoke to Arrowhead. It was built to avoid ice and low-water problems on this stretch of the Columbia River. Unfortunately, this did not completely solve seasonal navigation problems as the Narrows between the two Arrow lakes were prone to the same setbacks. This was partly the reason that CPR pushed a line along the Slocan corridor; the other being competition with Hill for the mines of the Slocan district.
