Rail for the Valley

4/11/2019

South Fraser Community Rail BC Transit

By Thomas Cheney, Rail for the Valley, Chilliwack Chapter

In 1910, Premier Richard McBride drove the last spike of the British Columbia Electric Railway finally providing a convenient connection between the Fraser Valley and Vancouver. Beyond being a ribbon of steel, it brought the new technology of electricity to the hinterland.

Today, the old interurban line could again bring advanced technology and transportation options to Bradner and the rest of the Fraser Valley. The Rail for the Valley and South Fraser Community Rail initiatives together present plans to connect Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack with zero-emission hydrogen trains. This avoids the costs of electrifying the line while allowing British Columbia to showcase its excellence in the hydrogen and fuel cell sector. With over 1.2 million people currently living in the South Fraser region, a new solution, community rail is needed.
