Fraser Valley Heritage Railway

The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society in Surrey, British Columbia, is dedicated to preserving and operating historic electric interurban and streetcar equipment from the Lower Mainland’s once-extensive traction network. The society maintains and operates vintage electric railway cars from the era when interurban lines connected communities across the Fraser Valley, forming the backbone of regional transportation before the automobile era took hold. Operating from their facility in Cloverdale, the FVHRS gives passengers the unique opportunity to ride restored historic electric streetcars and interurban cars, experiencing transit as it was in the early 20th century. The collection includes significant examples of British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER) rolling stock, celebrating the legacy of the company that electrified much of BC’s urban and interurban transportation network. The society is entirely volunteer-run and depends on the dedication of its members to keep these irreplaceable vehicles operational and available for public rides and special events. For anyone interested in the history of electric transit in British Columbia and the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway is a fascinating and important destination.
