History

The E&N Rail Trail (the Humpback Connector) runs beside the Esquimalt & Nanaimo railway. The Capital Regional District started building it in 2009, in phases as funding allows; the first two phases were finished in 2019, when about 12 km was open. The whole trail will be about 17 km, and the federal government paid much of its cost.
