Your support will help us with programs like:

  • Surrey Schools Tours
School visits

The exhibits we are involved in are enjoyed by the general public and highly anticipated by a wide range of audiences.

Your support will help our society participate in special exhibits such as:

  • Surrey Live Steam Exhibit

Project Support

We have many special projects on the go, with the goal of keeping the history of the BCER alive and well.

  • Sullivan Passing Track

Revitalization and Restoration Projects

The revitalization and restoration of the BCER is the most important goal of FVHRS. This is a huge undertaking and one that wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of local businesses and communities.

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 ...

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!

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!
