Steveston InterurbanTram
The interurban rail car #1220 has found a permanent home in Steveston Park. Car 1220 was built in St. Louis Missouri, by the St. Louis Car Company, in 1913. She was purchased by the British Columbia Electric Railway Company to carry passengers from Vancouver to Steveston. She worked long and hard, primarily on the Steveston Interurban Line until cessation of service in February of 1958. She served a total of 45 years, carrying passengers of all ages through an era that relied heavily on public transportation.
The Interurban Tram is the largest artifact in the Richmond Museum Collection and a valuable asset to the City of Richmond.
