Port Moody
was the original Pacific

the CPR's transcontinental mainline from Montreal
from
1886—before the railway was extended to Vancouver one year later in
1887 (1).

one—now functions as the Port Moody Station Museum
, and is located a few hundred metres west of the
West Coast Express station, on Murray Street near the north foot of
Moody Street.
