As a kid to teen, I crossed those tracks, either on Lougheed or Gilmore. Actually on Gilmore I had to cross two sets of tracks. I also remember where the Burnaby Lake tracks crossed the CNR tracks. I remember the crossover, there.

Thanks so much for sharing this little video and explaining it all to us. I assume you worked on it yourself. My uncle was the chief purchasing agent for Dominion Bridge in the1960s.

Ya these old clips are very cool. I still have some of the 2 disc DVD sets left. They sell for $25.00 plus postage. Each disc is just over 1 hour.

Nice memorial to the BC Electric railway. A couple of scenes on video #5 on the Dunbar diversion could have been shot from my backyard when I was about 12 yrs old. It might be helpful to viewers if the comments identified the general location of the videos individually as it takes nearly 2 hours to view it all.

Yes, a 2 dvd set is $25.00 plus postage.
