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. This is the Canadian National station in Vancouver, B.C. and, as you can see, it is still lettered as such with a large neon sign on the roof. Today, the sign says "Pacific Central" instead of "Canadian National". This station continues to be used today by VIA Rail Canada and Amtrak. 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 this 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.

Here's what the station looked like in January of 2022:
