Grounds

Next to Sullivan park and the Sullivan Community Hall, the fenced compound provides a good location for the car barn, the original and restored Sullivan Stations and is very close to the original site of Sullivan station. Connection to the Fraser Valley line should be to the East, in the near future.

Car barn

Built to hold two interurban cars, we have some room to expand. To maintain the cars for service we need a place to store and work on them. The car barn provides a new landmark in the Sullivan area.

Workshop

To support work on the stations and cars, we need a place to keep tools and materials. The addition to the side of the car barn has been a great help in organizing these and providing a warmer place to work - very important over the winter months when a lot of the work is done.

Sullivan station

The original station "moved" from the rail site to a local farm sometime after passenger service stopped in the 1950's. Having many two-footed inhabitants for close to 50 years, the artifact looks well used. We have reconstructed the station as it was in it's prime and using the original colours for the BCER. You can see the "new" station on the North side (entrance) to the car barn site. The original artifact station is on the South side of the car barn. You can see it when you ride in trailer 1225 1/2 on the Speeder ride.

BCER 1225 Rehabilitation

Since car 1225 has returned to Canada, we have been working hard on stabilizing and rehabilitating the car with the goal of returning it to passenger service on the original interurban line.

See how much work goes into rehabilitation of an interurban car.

Speeder

The Speeder, and passenger trailer 1225 1/2, are in use at our Open House events for rides around the grounds. Tickets, by donation, are available at the restored Sullivan station from any one of the members on site.
