Here's a photo I took on August 25, 1976, FORTY-SIX YEARS AGO, when I made a one-week trip to British Columbia and Alberta. CN Train 1, the westbound Super Continental, has arrived at its terminus of Vancouver, B.C. This station continues to be used today by VIA Rail Canada and Amtrak and is the former Canadian National station. The Great Northern used to have a separate station adjacent to this one on the north side, but it was razed in the 1960s. In 1976 this was also a bus station where, later that same day, I boarded a bus that was loaded onto a ferry for a trip I made to Vancouver island and the city of Victoria.
