| 释义 |
The Port Moody-Coquitlam Railway, was the common name for a short line operated by the British Columbia Electric Railway which ran from the east end of Burrard Inlet to Coquitlam Lake, British Columbia, Canada. This steam train line connected the Port Moody-Ioco spur of the Canadian Pacific Railway to the Coquitlam Dam in order to haul supplies and materials to the dam. It was built in partnership with Robert McNair of the Robert McNair Shingle Company. McNair used it to bring timber from the lake down to his mill in Port Moody. It ran east from a pier at the end of Burrard Inlet, approximately following today's Ungless Street in Port Moody, then Guildford Way and the Coquitlam River in Coquitlam.[1] Much of the Coquitlam River portion of the line is now part of the Crystal Falls trail.
