Fraser Valley Historical Railway Society

The Fraser Valley Historical Railway Society is restoring an old interurban streetcar system, which it plans to operate as a heritage streetcar system, centered on Surrey, British Columbia. The heritage service began in June 2013.

System

The heritage line is 7.4-kilometre (4.6 mi) long, using only a small fraction of the original 120-kilometre (75 mi) interurban line of the British Columbia Electric Railway that connected Vancouver to Chilliwack.

The streetcar runs once every 75 minutes on weekends; the entire journey takes 55 minutes.

A single original vehicle from the original line is run on weekend, from stations at Cloverdale to Sullivan.

Volunteers restored the stations to their appearance at the height of the old line's service.
