The Last Ride: BC Electric Railway's final run of passenger service into Fraser Valley
Excerpts from film shot by Ken Hodgson in 1948/49 and in 1950 during the last trip of the BC Electric Railway passenger service through the Fraser Valley. (Hodgson's brother went on to become CEO of BC Transit). Includes narration by two former motormen, Frank Horn & Vic Sharman, with some wonderful scenes of a growing Langley -- described by Frank as, "a pretty modern little town." Two trains serviced the run -- one from Vancouver, the other from Chilliwack. They touched noses from opposite directions on that final day. Thank you to Michael Taylor-Noonan, librarian at the Transit Museum Society for sharing this with the Langley Heritage Society. Enjoy! www.langleyheritage.ca
