Take the Electric Express this Christmas! Get your tickets now before they sell out!
Shake the snow globe and travel back in time with the Electric Express to 1921. See the characters, hear the Christmas music, experience the stories of the Fraser Valley one hundred years ago.
Feel the magic of Christmas as we visit Father Christmas in his secret workshop. You will want to bring your whole family to enjoy our theatrical event that is sure to warm your heart and make you laugh.
This is a heritage railway theatrical experience that takes place on the train run on our 1/2-mile section of our track, with a destination visit to the secret workshop of Father Christmas. Please note the train does not run to Sullivan Station, it travels a short distance up our spur line and back to Father Christmas’s Secret Workshop. The Electric Express experience is approximately 50 minutes long.
This experience will set the scene for the start of a wonderful Christmas season.

All aboard! If you’re looking for a fun weekend activity, consider taking a ride on The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway. All trains depart from the Cloverdale Station (Hwy 10 & 176A St) on Saturday and Sunday. The route goes from Cloverdale to Sullivan Station returns to Cloverdale. While you’re there, be sure to check out honeybeecentre bee hotel that is helping make the beautiful meadow bloom with their hard working pollinators. 📸: honeybeecentre

Our scenery is picturesque, & so are our trains. The fifth annual "Paint the Train" exhibit presented by the #FraserValleyHeritageRailwaySociety, the #artscouncilofsurrey , the artsnewwest , & the LangleyArtsOrg united the Fraser Valley in appreciation of our trains.

On the Monster Express riding by the Witches Coven!
We hope you`ll be able to join us Thursday, April 4 for our third Heritage Chat with David Hobson, a volunteer with the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway. Did you know that from the early 1900s to the mid 1950s the BC Electric Railway served as a major transportation link between New Westminster and Chilliwack?
Everyone is welcome! Admission is free, but we always appreciate donations.

Thank you to all the monsters, big and small, who made this year`s Monster Express such a sold out success! We could not have done this without our marvelous volunteers or you, our passengers! Looking forward to our next special event, the Electric Express! Stay tuned for information about a December theatrical event!
Thank you to everyone who has purchased tickets to the Monster Express! It is now sold out! However, you have one last chance to ride Surrey`s Heritage Rail this season, and that`s, this Saturday, October 9, we still have a few tickets left! All aboard!
Fraser Valley Heritage Rail director Allen Aubert reminds me to include the FVHR bee project in my next column. His promo worked! It`s included! The society has wildflowers, bee hives and interurbans zipping around the car barn and heritage station in Cloverdale, BC. #travelinspiration #travelbc #travellingtimes #beesandtrains #SurreyBC #beesee #cloverdale #railguys #railsociety #railvolunteers #beepromo #surreyheritagerailway #fraservalleyheritagerailway #fraservalleyheritagerailwaysociety

Special guests dropped by the Steveston Tram yesterday. Ray and Allen, Directors representing the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society, gifted the Steveston Tram with an interpretive information panel. It has history about the Steveston Line and the Interurban tram cars that once ran along it. We will use the panel during special events. A huge thank you to the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society for their generosity and kindness. #stevestontram #fraservalleyheritagerailway #stevestonvillage #stevestonbc #heritagerailway #explorerichmondbc #discoverrichmondbc
