CN Train station in Fort Langley

Railfans and train spotters will be interested to know the CN Station was built in 1915 on a site to the west of where it stands today, on the corner of Mavis Street and Glover Road in Fort Langley. The design was one of the Canadian Northern Railways "third class" plans used by the CN until 1924. In 1918 Canadian Northern became part of Canadian National, and the CN Station was enlarged to accommodate larger living quarters for the Station Agent. From 1918-1929 this agent was Mr. Richard Charles Simpson.

The Station was used full-time until 1972 when it was reduced to a flag stop, and passenger service was completely terminated in 1980. For a time the Station stood empty, but in 1983 it was moved to its present location and restored by the Langley Heritage Society in cooperation with the Township of Langley. It was designated a Heritage Site on Feb. 27, 1984. Mrs. Simpson’s Garden was planted in memory of the Station Agent’s wife. The station is situated 4 blocks from Fort Langley Bed and Breakfast.
