Heritage CN Rail Station
1915 CN Station relocated to the corner of Mavis and Glover in Fort Langley and refurbished from 1983-1985 when it was officially 'opened' by the then Lieutenant Governor of B.C., J.V. Clyne. Built and designed by the Great Northern RR it was bought by the CNR in l918. Today it houses the Fort Langley Artists Group, F.L.A.G. in the baggage room and has a small museum in the ticket office and waiting room. Outside the station on a special piece of track sits the 1900's velocipede belonging to the B.C. Agricultural Museum. The 'site' also has a l920's Caboose with original furnishings and with a well equipped working model RR. To the West of the Caboose is the 1947 railcar recently bought by the Langley Heritage Society and refurnished. It is manned by summer students for July and August and by "site" volunteers for May, June, Sept and October (until Thanksgiving).
In 2001, the Langley Heritage Society received a prestigious B.C. Heritage Society Award of Honour for preservation and conservation of the CN Station Site. It's worth a visit!
