British Columbia - Transit Museum Society, Downtown Historic Trolley
Vancouver, British Columbia - The Transit Museum Society of Vancouver, British Columbia was established in 1986 to restore, preserve and operate historical vehicles significant to the history of public transit in British Columbia.

On April 3, 1996 Mayor Philip Owen announced the purchase of the old Canadian Pacific, False Creek railway corridor which forms the basis for a demonstration line from Granville Island to "Leg-in-Boot Station". The Downtown Historic Railway demonstrates the City commitment to restoring urban electric rail to Vancouver. Proposed extensions will connect to the north side of False Creek and eventually north to Chinatown and Gastown, and then head west to Canada Harbour Place and Stanley Park. The City has already established rights of way on the south side of False Creek and on the Coal Harbour Waterfront.
