Description

Humber, "Diamonds of the North" p. 96 says that the Canadian Pacific Railroad reached the old trading post of Kamloops in 1885, and that the railroad workers immediately established two teams, the Blues and the Knickerbockers. These teams dissolved in 1886 as the railhead pushed westward, but the influx of full-time railroad workers to Kamloops resulted in two teams forming there in 1888.
