Platform and Patio Expansion Complete

To accommodate increasing numbers of visitors, a platform expansion became necessary. In 2020, the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society was successful in being awarded a heritage infrastructure grant from the provincial government that has made possible the construction of various new projects at the Cloverdale campus, including completion of the Cloverdale Station platform/patio to accommodate a two-car consist, installation of a concrete floor in the carbarn annex to control the moisture vapour and to make the area more useable, installation of electric radiant heating in the carbarn and annex and installation of a new rail yard track for use to park the various pieces of rolling stock such as the track mobiles and speeders

In 2023, we plan to make good use of our new platform and patio!

The History of Cloverdale Station

On July 1, 1910 when the British Columbia Electric Railway began passenger service through Cloverdale from New Westminster to Jardine on its new 64-mile electric interurban line to Chilliwack. Cloverdale quickly became the the dominant community in the Fraser Valley, with residents enjoying a state-of-the-art travel experience to downtown Vancouver, via Cloverdale Station, in an hour and a half.
