Hope station (British Columbia)


Hope station is a railway station in Hope, British Columbia, Canada, located along CN railway tracks.. The station is served by Via Rail's The Canadian three times per week as a flag stop.
The station is only served by westbound trains towards Vancouver. Eastbound trains call at Katz railway station along the CPR tracks, on the other side of the Fraser River. This split in service between Vancouver and Ashcroft is due to CN and CPR utilizing directional running through the Thompson- and Fraser Canyon.
The original station was built by the Great Northern subsidiary Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern Railway which ran from Cloverdale to Hope. GN shared trackage with the Kettle Valley Railway over the Coquihalla Pass. The station was moved in the 1980s to the business road and intersection after CN divested itself of passenger services.
