Rolling fields, vintage cars and some of the original buildings of 91Ô­´´, circa 1950, are being rediscovered through newly released video footage shot along the BC Electric Railway.

Titled , the six-and-a-half minute video, posted on YouTube by the 91Ô­´´ Heritage Society, includes excerpts filmed by Ken Hodgson in 1948, 1949 and 1950, when the last trip of the BC Electric Railway Interurban passenger service to 91Ô­´´ was made.

The video was made available to the 91Ô­´´ Heritage Society by Michael Taylor-Noonan, librarian at the .
