Explore all that Cloverdale has to offer
The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society has some pretty special neighbours: Clover Square Mall has many restaurants, stores and services. For pub fare, there are Rusty’s and the Clydesdale Inn, and beside it the Coast Country Diner for a great breakfast or lunch.
We’d like to suggest that you drop in and visit these fine businesses, as well as the other civic amenities including the Museum of Surrey, the Surrey Archives, the BC Vintage Truck Museum, and walk historic Cloverdale’s main street. We hope you enjoy our neighbourhood while you are visiting us.

Spent a lovely morning with the volunteers at the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society last week. Nickel Bros raises the trains here to allow access to restore undercarriage parts like the motors and wheel assemblies. If you haven`t paid this site a visit, make sure it`s on your summer to-do list!

A little bit of Nickel Bros heritage is now on display at the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society!
This train has been raised to allow for restoration of the motors and wheel assembly. Did you know that just one of these train cars has a total of 4 motors?? #OurPurposeIsToRepurpose

Please share this post with your friends! The Monster Express sold out last month, don`t miss this opportunity to get your tickets before they are gone!
In 1913 this was rapid transit from Vancouver to Chilliwack and the track still exists from NWest to Wack - superior to current rapid transit to the Valley - 100 years behind it seems - this runs on weekend by the Heritage Railway Society #explorebc #electrictrain #railway #fraservalleyheritagerailway #train #cloverdale #surrey #traincrossing #vintagetrain #bcelectricrailway #car1225
