Tips

Construction of the private Pacific Great Eastern (PGE) Railway from Vancouver to Prince George in northern British Columbia began in 1912 and was not completed until 1952. In October 1914, Alta Lake was connected to the railway. At that time, the tracks were used not only by trains, especially for freight transport, but also by pedestrians or other means of transportation to get from Alta Lake to Squamish or Vancouver.

In 1918, PGE was nationalized and transferred to the ownership of the Province of British Columbia. Since 1984, the line has been known as BC Rail. In 2002, BC Rail discontinued all passenger service to Whistler and sold the line to Canadian National (CN) Rail one year later. The railroad also discontinued regular freight service.
Since 2022, the “luxurious” Rocky Mountaineer train has been running once a week between Vancouver and Jasper and back from April to October, with stops in Whistler and Quesnel.

At times there is a train passing. Not too often, but it happens. The surroundings are much impacted bye the golf club nearby, pedestrians are second class 😉
