The Kettle Falls International Railway, LLC ("KFR") owns and operates over 160 miles of former Burlington Northern Santa Fe trackage in Northeastern Washington State and Southeastern British Columbia. KFR operates from the BNSF interchange at Chewalah, Washington to Columbia Gardens, British Columbia. A second line operates from Kettle Falls, Washington to Grand Forks, British Columbia, before crossing the border again to reach San Poil, Washington.

KFR has a very diverse traffic base, including lumber, plywood, wood products, minerals, metals, fertilizer, industrial chemicals, and abrasives. Key customers include Teck Cominco, Pope  & Talbot, Boise Cascade, Canpar, Stimson Lumber, Vaagen Brothers Lumber, Pacific Abrasives and International Reload Systems Ltd.

KFR works closely with local economic development agencies on new business opportunities and with five day per week rail connections with BNSF, KFR is an excellent choice for new plant locations.
