Electric Railway Line - Tiller's Folly (2004)

Описание: The British Columbia Electric Railway Company was formed in 1897, an amalgamation of separate interurban and street railway systems in Vancouver, New Westminster and Victoria.

In 1910, the south side of the Fraser was connected to Vancouver by the B.C. Electric "Inter-Urban" railway, bringing people and produce within easy reach of the larger coastal cities. This service became known as the "milk run." The BCER could at one time boast the largest electric railway in Canada. Passenger service through the Fraser Valley to Chilliwack ended in 1950 when the BCER dieselized and became a freight-only carrier.
