Timber by rail

The Timberland Lumber Company mill on Fraser River was conveniently situated nearby the Canadian National Railway and the Great Northern Railway, but shipped its timbers via the British Columbia Electric Railway.

The siding from Timberland, coming in on the lower right tangent,  joined the Brownsville siding at this point, then the mainline of BCER  in the distance,  in this view to the south.

The BCER served mills along its route through Kennedy, Newton, Sullivan and so on, through Langley and Abbotsford.  The transhipment point to the Canadian National Railway was at Chilliwack.

Timberland Lumber Company timbers were too long for one flat car on the British Columbia Electric Railway.
