Connecting Transportation Professionals will be holding its first event of 2014 – a tour of Pacific Central Station by well-known historian and walking tour leader extraordinaire John Atkin. Pacific Central Station is the terminus of both Via Rail’s The Canadian route to Toronto as well as Amtrak Cascades that runs to Seattle and beyond. Designated a heritage railway station in 1991, it was restored to its full glory between 2010 and 2012.

For those interested, afterwards we will go have a drink at the other major railway station in Vancouver – Waterfront Station, the former terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
