"The British Columbia Electric Railway consisted of 111 route miles of streetcar operations in four cities: seven interurban lines totaling 141 route miles; 40 million passengers carried in 1910, and almost 146 million in 1947. For 68 years - 1890 to 1958 - the streetcars and trams dominated and defined urban and interurban transportation in the most populated areas of B.C. Today only traces remain of this fascinating and well-run system that once brought people from all over the world to examine its operation.
