Update on the Kettle Valley Railway
The railway operates a 2-8-0 Locomotive, #3716, built in 1912 in Montreal. It's a big beast.
Link to a bit of history about this Locomotive.

They will have their regular afternoon train running Sunday at 1:30 PM, but not with the BBQ/Robbery. The ride is about 90 minutes.
There is no food service onsite or on the train. You are welcome to bring bag lunches/picnic baskets.
I have reserved 24 open coach seats on the Sunday afternoon train with Nola, who handles group reservations.

Iris and I will catch up to the winery tour, then take the winery group back to the Kettle Valley station to pick up the train group at 3 PM.
We will drive towards Oliver to check out a few more wineries before returning to Penticton.
Group dinner at the Hooded Merganser 6 PM Sunday evening.
