Along the No. 20 Line: "On Hastings and Carrall, across from the Rogers, stands the B.C. Electric Building. The corner is a favorite meeting place, it's the downtown's "Birks clock." The interurban tram station is here and three or four trams wait in the arched-over depot." (p.30) (CVA- B.C. Electric Railway Company Building, 1912)
"Farmers and families from Fraser Valley hamlets eddy in and out of a waiting room. It's almost a museum piece... Three times a day the "milk run" out to Chilliwack leaves on a four-hour trip which crisscrosses the south side of the Fraser Valley making endless stops." (p.30) (CVA- 1903)
