Carrall Street Vancouver

Carrall Street yard was originally the west end of the Central Park interurban line and was the industrial area south of the BCER terminal building at Carrall and Hastings. When the Central Park line was abandoned Carrall Street yard became isolated from the rest of the railway and its only connection to the outside world was through the CPR. Here the last two Baldwin-Westinghouse steeple cab electric locomotives carried on switching industries until electric operations ended in 1981.
