Stikine Line

The Stikine Line is a 413.7 mile railway line of the British Columbia Railway (BC Rail) running from Fort St James, where it connects with the Dog Creek Line and the Omineca Line, to Dease Lake on the Cassiar Central Line. At Meadowview it connects to the Omineca–Stikine Connecting Line, at Takla Landing to the BC Army Railway Regiment's line to Fort Tsaytla, and at Iskut Junction to the Skeena Pacific Railway's Ganiks Laxha–Dease Lake line. Between Iskut Junction and Dease Lake (22.5 miles) the line is electrified.

The Stikine Line is Line 81 of BC Rail's Northern Region.

= History = The British Columbia Railway finalised plans for a line to Dease Lake in 1969, and began construction in 1971. Once the BCR plans were finalised, the Skeena Pacific began an extension of its northern mainline from Meziadin to Dease Lake, opening the line in 1973. When the BCR completed the Stikine Line from Fort St James to Iskut Junction in 1975, the 22.5-mile Iskut Jct–Dease Lake section was sold to the BCR and was incorporated into the new line; after the sale, the SPR retained running rights into Dease Lake - the Iskut Jct–Dease Lake section is the only electrified section of the Stikine Line.
