CHNL (Radio NL) is a radio station in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. The station, owned by the Stingray Group since 2018, airs a classic hits format with some talk and sports at 610 on the AM dial. The station launched on May 1, 1970. CHNL has been a mix of news/talk station since September 2006 and a classic hits station since April 2014. Prior to it, the station aired an adult Contemporary format and branded as a "lite hits" station in the 1980s. 610 AM is a regional broadcast frequency. There are three stations in Canada on this frequency. On April 25, 2009, CHNL received CRTC approval to add a transmitter in Merritt at 1230 kHz. The transmitter took over the AM frequency of Merritt's local radio station CJNL, which converted to 101.1 MHz and now broadcasts with the call sign CKMQ-FM. 1230 kHz went off-air for good on September 15, 2020 when the land owner did not renew the lease on the transmitter property.

Kamloops Heritage Railway
Kamloops Heritage Railway

The Kamloops Heritage Railway is a heritage railway in Kamloops, British Columbia. The railway operates throughout the year running trains within Kamloops. The train is pulled by restored steam locomotive Canadian National Railway 2141, the "Spirit of Kamloops". 2141 was built in 1912 by the Canadian Locomotive Company, in Kingston, Ontario - built for the Canadian Northern Railway, prior to it being absorbed into the Canadian National Railway. She is a 2-8-0, 'Consolidation' class of steam locomotive built for branch line railways. Originally a coal burner, she was converted to burn oil in 1954, and retired from active duty in 1958. 2141 was sold to the City of Kamloops in 1961, and placed on display in Riverside Park until restoration work began in 1995. The restoration was completed in 2001, and 2141 has been working for KHR from May until December each year since. A second restoration took place from 2013 to 2015, with the engine running again in August 2015. The locomotive was featured in the movie Gold (2013) Tickets for excursions are sold at the ticket office, located at #3-510 Lorne Street, right across from the old Kamloops railway station.As of 2022 the Kamloops Heritage Railway was reduced to temporary static display. This was due to the increased amount of freight traffic, mainly the export of American coal through Kamloops via Canadian Pacific Railway to the Canadian National Kamloops North yard via the rail bridge over the North Thompson River.
