1925 Great Northern blueprint of trackage around the railway's Pender Street Yard including the "old passenger depot", the railway's first station in what was the heart of downtown Vancouver. The photograph above shows the facilities as they appeared in 1908, when Pender was known as Dupont Street, looking south towards GNR Bridge 85 across False Creek. The Great Northern would open their second station in downtown Vancouver in 1917, built on land reclaimed from False Creek; land shared with the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway as its western terminus. The Pender line facilities, including the rail bridge, would be removed in the years to come. (Select for a full-size view: 2069 x 1255; 360K)
