Fall morning at Coghlan. This 1910 BC Electric substation is one of two left standing in the Fraser Valley. That’s a Hollywood North staircase still in place after a movie shoot a few years ago. The right of way continues to generate debate over whether it should be used as a commuter rail corridor.
Architect Barry B. Watson designed this station and four others at Cloverdale, Clayburn, Sumas and Chilliwack. The stations supplied power to the BC Electric trams, and the station operators lived on site with their families. This is now privately owned.
