In a scene from around 1950, a Canadian National
passenger train eases across the Fraser River Bridge towards the former
Great Northern station at New Westminster. This was demolished in 1958
in favour of a new Brunette Street station approximately a mile beyond
this point. The Royal City Cannery building, empty for some time, was dismantled
in the late 1970's after a runaway barge destroyed a corner of it along
with one of the bridge spans. The train is being drawn from Port Mann to
Vancouver by N-2-b #2509, a 2-8-0 built for Canadian Northern in 1918.
