Clayburn Signal Shack and Semaphores
The small Clayburn diamond crossing signal building, used for many years by the BCER where its tracks crossed the CP lines was, after decommissioning, donated to the FVHRS by Southern Railway of BC. It is one of the very few complete remaining signal structures and systems. We relocated it to the rail yard of the Cloverdale Heritage Rail Centre. Over the past three years, we reinstalled the signal levers and connecting mechanisms to the two sets of semaphores (signal arms). Visitors can now discover how trains were controlled in the pre-computer days and experience the delight of actually being able to change the signals themselves.
A visit to the signal structure will become part of the Heritage Rail Adventure.

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.
