Born in Calgary, Alberta, Bob Whetham of Cranbrook, B.C. spent his early years in South America before returning to Canada to attend school and university. As Director of Planning for the Regional District of East Kootenay, he combined his love of vintage railways and photography for In Search of the Narrow Gauge (Sono Nis, 1996), a survey of narrow gauge railways in 17 countries, including Peru, Argentina, China, India and Wales.
