North Vancouver station is a railway station located in the city of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and is serviced by the Rocky Mountaineer tour company. The station is used on the Rainforest to Gold Rush route that goes to Jasper (via Whistler and Quesnel).[1] It was formerly the southern terminus of the Whistler Sea to Sky Climb.
Pacific Great Eastern Railway Station
The original North Vancouver station was established for the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, later called BC Rail. It was constructed between 1913 and 1914 in Lower Lonsdale. Harold Cullerne designed the structure. It was built on 107 Carrie Cates Court.[2] It was served by the Cariboo Prospector until it ceased operations on 31 October 2002.[3][4] The station was used by the North Vancouver Museum of Archives and as a launching point for historical walking tours of the Lonsdale shipyards. In a report prepared for the council in 2013, Colliers International proposed that the station be repurposed as an ice cream or coffee shop as part of a proposed waterfront redevelopment project.[5] In 2014, the station was temporarily moved to 449 Alder St.[6] Polygon Gallery is located on the station's former location.
