History
Port Moody was the original Pacific terminus of the CPR's transcontinental mainline from Montreal from 1886—before the railway was extended to Vancouver one year later in 1887 (1).
The original railway station—or an early station, if not the original 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.
