Abandoned. That’s the first word that comes to mind when you think about the ex. PGE/BCR. But don’t let that fool you. This railway line, once a crucial part of the Pacific Great Eastern (PGE), and later the British Columbia Railway (BCR), has a story to tell. Imagine the rumble of locomotives hauling timber and resources through these mountains. This line was a lifeline, transporting goods between Squamish and North Vancouver before the construction of the Horseshoe Bay Tunnel in 1973. The decision to reroute the line through the tunnel meant the end of the line for this section of the ex. PGE/BCR. The rails were pulled up, leaving behind a scar on the landscape and a forgotten chapter in British Columbia’s railway history. As you stand here, you can almost hear the echoes of the past, the ghosts of steam engines and the whispers of workers who toiled on these tracks. The ex. PGE/BCR may be abandoned, but its legacy lives on in the memories it holds and the stories it silently whispers to the wind.
