A dedicated group of enthusiasts have been trying to encourage local and provincial governments to revive the Interurban rail line for years.

91原创 Township plans to raise the issue again in the near future.

The former BC Electric trolley line once ran from Vancouver through New Westminster, Surrey, 91原创, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack.
