E&N Victoria Station Abandonment

The railway station in Victoria BC was located by the east
end of the Johnson Street Bridge in a slightly seedy portion
of the city, at 450 Pandora Avenue serving as the southern
terminus for the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway.
It was designed by architect Yves Roy and built in 1986,
in a style keeping with the historical nature of the area.
The E&N takes its name from the original section of track
running between Esquimalt (6 km [4 miles] from downtown
Victoria) and Nanaimo. The first E&N train ran on
March 29, 1888 between Nanaimo and Victoria.
The CPR purchased the E&N in 1905 and extended the
tracks to Courtenay a distance of 225-kilometre (140 mi)
on Vancouver Island. VIA Rail took over their CPR's
Malahat passenger train operation in 1979. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/47911905
Leaving in the morning and returning early evening, trains
entered directly into the Johnson Street Bridge, built in
1924 and known locally as "Big Blue" or
the "Blue Bridge" (because it was painted that colour to
match the primer paint so corrosion wouldn't show through).
The bridge had two separate bascule sections; one for the
railway and the other one for the road, each operated
individually.
In a bascule bridge, one end is raised while at the other
end, heavy concrete blocks act as counterweights.
The link below shows a view across from downtown. http://cindystephenson.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/two-
cities-two-bridges-two-approaches/
Awaiting return to service after eventual rail upgrades,
VIA suspended service indefinitely on March 19, 2011
and stored its Rail Diesel Cars at a roundhouse in Victoria
West http://www.flickriver.com/photos/47911905@N00/
4870374705/ on the other side of the Johnson Street
Bridge for about a month, hoping for renewal of service
from one of the Vic West communities. With future
uncertain for the immediate roadbed upgrade, VIA sent
the Budd cars northbound, into more secure storage at
Nanaimo. Rail service had been threatened with
discontinuation several times in the past but passenger
service kept alive due to petitions by residents.
A temporary bus service was provided by VIA during
the interruption but it averaged 10 passengers or
less per run. http://www.viarail.ca/en/trains/rockies-and-
pacific/victoria-courtenay
With this bus service proving unprofitable, it was then
decided to terminate altogether rail passenger operation
on Vancouver Island. VIA closed its station on August 12,
2011 and shipped all its Budd cars off the island from
Nanaimo, the following November.

In June 2012, this brick sign at Store Street and
Pandora Avenue still indicated the parking entrance
to the Victoria passenger station.
Look up the station location in Google Maps.

The actual "End of Track" in Victoria is marked by a
railway tie at the bottom right hand corner of the photo.
Before 1992, the track used to curve left on Store Street
past this point for a few blocks to reach numerous
customers and a small yard.

E&N station end in June 2012, with the bridge on the

a new bridge by 2016; to the left of the old one, which
will then be removed.

It will be a bascule geared design and not fitted with rail. http://www.johnsonstreetbridge.com/the-project/design/

2012, with the rail span now removed. The station was
located on the left side in the photo. On Friday, February 24
2011, the largest single-lift crane barge in Western Canada
lifted the
rail portion of the 88 year old bridge and its 500 (metric) tonne counterweight (about 551.3 US tons) its foundation, lowered
the load onto the barge and it was floated away to be
scrapped due to severe corrosion. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/thewest/Barge+arrival

The rail side of the Victoria E&N station, shortly after track removal. It belonged to the City of Victoria and had no
heritage value since it was only erected in 1986. Bids were
sent out to have the building removed: http://www.vicnews.com/news/163452396.html which attracted
only one which met requirements. The station roof and other
building parts will be recycled somewhere else in the city.

Coming up to the Visitor Centre at Craigellachie BC
with the Rocky Mountaineer eastbound, on a rainy
May 11, 2009. The Centre features a gift shop and interpretation of the Canadian Pacific Last Spike,
joining East and West on the morning of November 7,
1885.

It seems to be a great gesture from the custodians, to
have installed the platform in the foreground, enabling
visitors to photograph trains from a higher vantage point
rather than from the fence.

The Esquimalt & Nanaimo Station at Qualicum Beach BC,
in May 2003. It's a very picturesque area, with the town 2 blocks from the station and a wide shallow beach a short kilometer away.
The station was constructed in 1914 and is representative of two-storey CPR stations. It is located within a large park
area, incorporating ex-Baldwin Locomotive Works #4 in
open air under a roof, next to the station. (BLW 4, a 2-8-2T built in 1925, was once used in logging operations for MacMillan Bloedel and subsequently displayed at
various places on Vancouver Island before
coming to Qualicum Beach).

revisited.
Now called the Qualicum Beach Digital Media Studio
the building is being used by artists and pictures using
techniques such as oil, lithography, collage etc., adorn
the walls. There are plans to use the tracks again but
for now, the roadbed is in pitiful condition.

E&N (Esquimalt & Nanaimo) Duncan's Crossing Station,
Duncan, British Columbia

The station was established around March of 1912 at what
was then Duncan Crossing, named after William Chalmers
Duncan who farmed in the region.
The Wikipedia entry states:
"The Duncan Railway Station is located in Duncan,
British Columbia. The station was a stop on Via Rail�s
Victoria � Courtney train service, which ended in 2011.
It is located on the Southern Railway of Vancouver
Island main line."

The line is often referred to also as the E&N, which is
referenced elsewhere in your picture collection of
Vancouver Island sites.

The building now houses the Cowichan Valley Museum,
and is listed as being at 130 Canada Avenue.

For information, while the Wikipedia entry states the
rail service ended in 2011, work is ongoing by a few local
groups to resurrect the service and the line. Unfortunately,
any resumption of this service will not include the
"blue bridge" crossing in Victoria, quite a few references
to which are also included in many of your entries.

CP station in Fernie, BC. Built in 1908, after the town
was nearly destroyed for a second time in four years
by a raging fire. It's the last surviving first-class CPR
station of its design. It was renovated between 1986 and
1990 so it could be used by the general public. It sits
across the street from the CP Cranbrook Subdivision, the
line it once served. Today, its known as the Arts Station, a public art gallery displaying local arts and crafts. It also
has a café beside the gallery.

This is the station at Bennett, British Columbia. Bennett, British Columbia, Canada is an abandoned town next to
Bennett Lake. It was built during the Klondike Gold Rush
of 1897-99 at the end of the White Pass and
Chilkoot Trails from nearby ports of Skagway and
Dyea in Alaska. Shortly thereafter, the railway was
extended to Carcross, Yukon and then up to Whitehorse, Yukon. This station has been refurbished over the years
and is now used as a maintenance of way headquarters as
well as a bunkhouse style food stop for the White Pass
and Yukon railway passengers as they wait to meet the westbound train.

the CPR boats that plied the Arrow Lakes. This station
was built in 1905 and demolished in 1978 after the
construction of a newer building at the same location

CPR Glacier Station

Constructed in the same style as Lake Louise Station further east, this CPR station, served Glacier House
around 1886. Glacier House was a meal stop for passengers
in the Rocky Mountains where railway grades were too
severe to justify the operation of dining cars (follow the
tracks to the right) . Photo taken from the rear platform
of the Rocky Mountaineer train on May 11, 2009.
Situated about 40 miles east of Revelstoke BC in
Glacier National Park at Mile 85.5 of the CPR Mountain
Sub, the station ceased passenger service after Glacier
House was destroyed early in the 20th Century the but
it is still used by CPR Maintenance of Way crews, as the
area gets about 7 feet or more of snow per year. Just east
of there is the Connaught Tunnel and the famous
Stoney Creek Bridge. A very nice postcard view of a
train at the station and Glacier House can be seen at http://www.cardcow.com/c/65661/transportation-trains-

The station at Port Moody BC was built by the CPR
in 1908. It was the second railway station in the area
but in 1945, the railway moved their station closer to
town but still operated at this location until it was
officially closed on September 25th, 1976, when the
CPR discontinued their passenger service.

It is now a museum operated by The Port Moody
Heritage Society and there are several artifacts and photographs as well as the 1921 CPR sleeping car

	Mount Stephen House at Field BC in 1953, it was quite a structure, and was used in its last years as a CPR YMCA bunkhouse for train crews. This picture was taken by Walter Kot CPR locomotive engineer. This hotel was in service from 1886 to 1963 The structure at Glacier was just as big and grand. These large hotels that the CPR built were out of necessity, after the railway was built. The climb from Field, British Columbia to the Continental divide of the Rocky Mountains at Stephen was 4% grades, and the passenger trains could not haul a dining car, so the hotels were built at Glacier and The Mount Stephen House at Field BC. When the CPR built the Spiral Tunnels in 1908, the Problem with dining cars was solved. I'm not sure when they tore down the hotel at Glacier, the Mount Stephen House at Field was torn down around 1954.

	Before Pacific Central Station became an intermodal facility for trains and intercity buses, it was the western terminus for Canadian National and Amtrak trains. The building, at 1150 Station Street at the western edge of downtown Vancouver just past Chinatown, was built in 1917-19 for the Canadian Northern Railway (the ancestor of the CNR); to compete with the nearby Canadian Pacific (Cordova) station, also shown on this page and repurposed for multi-use, which was nearer to the downtown core. In 1991, the former Canadian National Station building was declared a heritage site, including the neon sign.

	VIA Station Nanaimo BC Built in 1920 by the CPR the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Station at 321 Selby Street to replace an earlier station. It has been in continuous operation ever since and is a classic example of the type of station erected in mid-size communities, early in the 20th century. The baggage/freight area is on the left and the passenger waiting room on the right. The stationmaster's living quarters were upstairs. VIA took the station over, circa 1979 but an arson fire seriously damaged the building in 2007. Plans were afoot to restore the station, however most of the track is now resting on rotten ties and the RDC car were taken off the island. Abandonment has been threatened several times but service is planned to be eventually resumed More at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria This old E&N Railway Station is one of the city's top six heritage buildings and has both federal and municipal heritage status.

	"The Station" restaurant in Kimberley BC, from an undated photo taken by Massey's father-in-law, back in the mid-80s, during a rail fantrip with members from Calgary. Built in 1901, one of the CPR Kimberley station was used to register ore trains to and from the nearby Sullivan Mine. Decommissioned in 1968s, the building was then turned into a restaurant. After it closed down, it housed offices of the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce, before it was demolished around 1990, after offers to build a Shoppers Drug Mart on the lot outweighed benefits of saving the building. Caboose CPR 436778 standing next to the building, was saved by the Kimberley Caboose Restoration Committee and donated to the Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway, a seasonal tourist operation http://www.kimberleysundergroundminingrailway.ca See my caboose page http://yourrailwaypictures.com/Cabooses/ for more details.

	VIA Endako BC Bunkhouse and Station Endako is a tiny community located about 2 hours west of Prince George via Highway 16. It is mile 0 of the Endako subdivision and is supported by both a molybdenum mine and the CN Railway. The building in the photo is really a bunkhouse, but the platform outside the building serves as a flag station for Via Rail's Jasper-Prince Rupert Line (aka the Skeena). Although the community's small, there are three tracks by the bunkhouse/station and there's even a wye for turning trains around.

	Railside photo of the former CN Kamloops station, taken October 13, 2011, from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kamloops_railway _station,_October_2011.jpg The station was originally built for Canadian National Railway. It was declared a Heritage Railway Station in 1992 and now houses a Keg restaurant. Via Rail trains call at the Kamloops North railway station not this station.

	CP Station Museum at Agassiz BC, April 2003 The CP station was lifted & moved to a location North of the CP tracks where it became a museum. Then the VIA station was installed in almost the same location. After a given time someone decided that the CP station museum should be brought back closer to the town core where it would be more accessible to the general public & tourists. It�s a nice location to visit. A park like setting with lots of parking & many local amenities. The date of for the initial move of the CP station or the construction of the VIA station, so maybe a viewer can help with that part.
