Or if you go here to the City of Vancouver Archives site, you can search and view photos from their collection that have been scanned. Thousands of photos available for viewing, yet only a fraction of their holdings.

Man, if I'd known about these sites, Canadian history classes might have been a more interesting experience than they actually were...

Professors should look into this kind of stuff. Thanks, guys!

They tend to only focus on the boring aspects.

As well there is the Vancouver Archives which holds pretty much anything and everything relating to the city, but is more time consuming especially since there is no 'Google' function there. Just the nice city clerks, and occasionally Chuck Davis.

I still don't really understand why the Dunsmuir tunnel was built. Seems rather pointless to bore under the city when you can just go around like it is now. Trains now go from the CN station on Main Street, head north, cross under Hastings Street between Raymur and Glen and get to the CP station without hindering traffic. I've seen the West Coast express trains do it tons of times going for service at the CN station. Unless they needed trains right downtown years ago?


cpr wanted a way to get from their waterfront yard,(seabuss), to the yaletown cpr yard without having to use cn track, (union st line).

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too!

And the reason why I focused on European history.

Seriously? Chuck Davis? I'm missing out with my suburban library! I think it'd be kind of cool to go and search in the archives at least once - get the whole "ambience" thing going. Or not...no idea what it's like down there.

Ahh, yes...bless the invention of 'Google.'

Kind of like a public library, except...quieter.

There is no tunnel going from new west to riverview.

There are tunnels in new west, in old new west (front street area) where the Keg is. They don't go to Riverview. Trust me.

Either the airplane contrails turned him/it into an ordinary human minion or the inhabitants of Vancouvers' underworld has claimed him/it as their own...



...Perhaps.

Apparently there is a tunnel under Vantech H.S. I friend of mine attended school there and went down for a look, he didn't see to much as there was the threat of expulsion if caught. He said it was some kind of coal delivery system, but bigger then just a shoot or conveyer. Anyone aware of this? T.L.
