The railroad of Spokane and British Columbia Railway Company, hereinafter called the carrier, is a single-track standard-gauge railroad, located entirely within the State of Washington, and extending in a northerly direction from Republic to Danville, the latter being a point on the boundary line between the United States of America and the Dominion of Canada. The tracks owned aggregate 36.401 miles of main track, 4.168 miles of other tracks, or a total of 40.669 miles of all tracks. The carrier operates its trains between a point on the international boundary at Danville, Wash., and Grand Forks, British Columbia, and between Grand Forks and Lynch Creek, British Columbia, distances of approximately 4 and 18 miles, respectively, over the tracks of the Kettle Valley Railway Company, an affiliated line located in the Dominion of Canada. The terms of the use of these tracks are set forth in Appendix 2 under the heading Leased Railway Property.

Corporate history.—The carrier was incorporated on August 28, 1900, under the laws of the State of Washington, for a period of 50 years, under the name of Republic and Kettle Valley Railway Company. The present corporate title was adopted by an amendment to the articles of incorporation, filed on April 1, 1906. Amended articles of incorporation were filed on June 20, 1904, providing for various extensions. The carrier has its principal office at Republic. It is controlled through stock ownership by representatives of The Trusts and Guarantee Company, Limited, and The Dominion Permanent Loan Company, both of Toronto, Canada. Various records and all books of account of the carrier were destroyed in August, 1908, when the depot building at Grand Forks burned down. The development of fixed physical property is related in Appendix 2.
