Englewood Railway was a logging railroad on northern Vancouver Island, Canada. Headquartered in Woss, British Columbia, the line ran 90 km (56 mi) from Vernon Lake, through Woss, and past Nimpkish Lake Provincial Park to Beaver Cove. It was the last operating logging railroad in North America.[1][2] After 100 years of use, railway operations ceased on November 7, 2017, following a deadly derailment in April of that year.[3][4]
