Rail Ferry from Vancouver to Nanaimo
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, October 31, 2005 11:08 AM
Canadian Pacific used to ship rail cars to Vancouver Island from their ferry terminal next to Canada Place in Vancouver. Now I haven't been to Vancouver in 10 years but from what I see in pictures, it looks as if the ferry terminal has been moved because of real estate development in that area. Does anyone know where the ferry terminal has been relocated. Just curious.

They run out of Tilbury, which is in Delta along the Fraser River, just east of the George Massey Tunnel.

Thanks, nanaimo73. I was born & raised in Burnaby so I'm familar with the Greater Vancouver Region.

My grandmother & uncle had to move as they had a house right over where the tunnel is where Canadian National uses to get trains over to North Vancouver. They moved only half a block away so I had my hearts content in watching several trains a day when I was a youngster. [:D] This was about 2 or 3 blocks south of Brentwood Mall in Burnaby.
