Sullivan Excursion
Train Ride
About the Ride
Ride into the past on Surrey’s Heritage Railway!
The train is a B.C. Electric interurban car rehabilitated to a state of full operation by our volunteers. The train departs our Cloverdale Station and travels through the farmlands to Sullivan Park and returns. Crossing over Highway 10 is an exciting experience. Lights flash, the whistle blows, and traffic comes to a halt. Passengers and vehicle drivers wave at each other in greeting.
The train crosses the Serpentine River into pristine Fraser Valley countryside. We often see hawks, bald eagles and families of coyotes. Each train has a Passenger Attendant who shares rail history and stories with our passengers.
All trains depart Cloverdale Station at Hwy 10 and 176A Street in Cloverdale. The route is: to Sullivan Park, and return.
The Sullivan Excursion train ride is approximately 55 minutes long.
Our flagship car is Interurban 1225. We do have special days when we operate Interurban 1304, the Royal Connaught car. Look for these special days on our Calendar of Events.

- Second Excursion: 11:30 AM

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!

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
