From Fraser Valley to Vancouver's Waterfront, Interurban rail travel is on a Mission

 

Jerry W. BirdThe West Coast Express operates daily between the Vancouver Waterfront (not far from our offices in Gastown) and the Fraser Valley community of Mission. The first day we took our first train trip turned out to be a memorable occasion in the annals of BC transportation. Not only was the West Coast Express experience pleasant and friendly, we arranged to stay overnight at the famous Westminster Abbey in Mission. The next morning, we drove to Abbotsford Airport, where we boarded the inaugural flight of WestJet Airlines to Calgary, Edmonton and return. It was certainly a weekend to remember. See Mission Page and Westminster Abbey.

More to come on the West Coast Express and some predictions for the future of air-rail connections in the West.
