Surrey, B.C. — Heritage Streetcar Grants

Rail Transit Online, December 2004

The government of British Columbia and the city of Vancouver have each donated C$75,000 to the Fraser Valley Heritage Rail Society to help with restoration of streetcar service from Surrey to Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley.  The non-profit society hopes to obtain original B.C. Electric Railway Co. No. 1225, now owned by the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California.  The car would initially operate on 13 mi. (21 km) of restored track between Cloverdale and Scott Road. BCER 1225 was the last streetcar to carry fare-paying passengers in British Columbia.
