A Great Northern system map from a time table dated January 12, 1912. In British Columbia can be seen a dashed line from Abbotsford to Princeton, signifying a "proposed line" that would not be completed until 1916. The tentacles of GN's many subsidiaries can be seen reaching into British Columbia: Fernie and Michel (Crows Nest Southern Railway), Kuskonook (Bedlington & Nelson Railway), linked via the waters of Kootenay Lake with the narrow-gauge Kaslo & Slocan Railway, by this time abandoned by the GN; Nelson (Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway), Rossland (Red Mountain Railway), Phoenix, Granby, Midway, Keremeos and Princeton (Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railway); Blaine to New Westminster via Cloverdale (New Westminster Southern Railway); Blaine to Vancouver, and Guichon to Abbotsford (Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railway); Victoria and Sidney (Victoria & Sidney Railway).
