About Our Simulator
Located in the Cloverdale station museum is a mockup of the Motorman’s controls of an interurban. It is comprised of the speed controller, brake handle, whistle and bell, and a large screen where a video simulates the train’s movement on the track as the motorman would see it.
The simulator is light weight and easily transported, and often becomes the spotlight attraction of our booth at the various train shows we participate in throughout the year.
Director Terry Nichols designed and built the simulator along with Director Roger Crick, with computer simulation developed by Director Aaron Lau.
Visitors to the Heritage Rail Adventure can experience the Motorman’s Simulator for themselves!

The opportunity to volunteer at the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway has been a great experience. I was presented with the prestigious green stationmaster`s hat this past weekend. Responsible for ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the heritage station, the Stationmaster looks after everything from passenger management to the ticket counter and gift shop.
