The Steveston Tram museum features Tram Car 1220, one of the original trams that ran on Richmond’s interurban rail system. Today, the immaculately restored tramcar and the building that houses it, allow visitors to experience authentic interurban rail travel and learn about early 20th century transportation.
Visit the museum to explore Tram Car 1220, one of the last interurban tram cars which serviced the city from 1913-1958. For 55 years, the interurban tram transported people between Steveston to Vancouver, New Westminster, and as far away as Chilliwack on the BC Electric Railway Company line. Step inside the beautifully restored tram, and learn about the communities and the passengers that it serviced – not all of them human!
