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... 😘
