BCER Interurban 1225 crosses a trestle over the Serpentine River in Cloverdale. Originally constructed in 1910, the line was used by interurban cars such as this one would, making the 3 hour journey between Vancouver and Chilliwack. Service stopped in 1950 and is currently used by a freight railway. Over the last few years, the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society (FVHRS) has been running a restored interurban along the line to let visitors experience another time.
The photo is actually a composite of two separate photos. The black and white image was taken by David Davies in 1965. I`m using the image for personal/educational use which is permitted. I`ve overlaid my image taken from today to show how very little the backdrop has changed on 50 years!

Our Christmas experience, the Electric Express 2021, has sold out! Thank you to all who purchased tickets!
Interurban 1225. Rumour has it these things had reached speeds of up to 80 miles an hour back in the day. These days, they are legally limited to 15. Let`s hope that changes one day!

Oh, how I miss riding the beautifully restored electric trains at the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society! 😎
.
It’s an annual ride I would take with my family for sure.
I also make a point of introducing them to as many friends and clients alike as I can throughout the summer.
.
This seems to be one of the hidden treasures in Cloverdale!
.
Hopefully, they will open later in the summer providing it is safe for everyone, especially they’re enthusiastic volunteers. If not, I will be on their doorstep in 2021. 👍😃
.
In the meantime, show the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society some LOVE by commenting your experience below... 😘

Looking forward to our next special event, the Electric Express! Stay tuned for information about a December theatrical event!
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
