bcer British Columbia Electric Railway British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER) Transit in B.C.s three major urban areas (Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster) was introduced by companies other than the BCER. These companies eventually merged to form the Consolidated Railway & Light Co. But a tragic event in 1896 ensured that Consolidated Railway would not operate the province's transit. A river bridge in Victoria collapsed, killing 55 people. Although an inquiry would later put blame on t...
Comparison of Modes
Adding up to a cleaner environment Transit Exchange, July/Aug. 1998 Both trolleys and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses play their part in reducing pollution in the Greater Vancouver region. Along with diesel buses, they make up most of the BC Transit fleet. How do trolleys and CNG buses rate pollution wise? And how does each of these technologies compare in cost? After covering diesel buses in the February issue of Transit Exchange, we now tackle the rest of the fleet. Trolley buses: in ...

Falcon says the reforms will go ahead, with or ...

TRIP Trolley Electronics #1. -How are the electronics set up on our > current fleet? Just what is in the engine bay of the bus and what is mounted underneath? I imagine there's a fairly significant number of batteries for the auxiliary power unit... The batteries are in trays along the left and right sides of the buses, the ones that have grilles in them. #2. -What did they do in the various TRIPP programs? I know there were some changes to improve cooling and to try and keep stuff dry but...

wac W.A.C. Bennett & B.C.E One aspect of the story of the B.C.E. which has puzzled me is this: It was the Socred government of W.A.C. Bennett that nationalized the B.C. Power Corporation, parent of the B.C.E. But, the Socreds as they became in the time I've lived in the province were right wing, free enterprise oriented. What would make them want to expropriate a private corporation? W.A.C. Bennett & B.C. Electric In researching this note, I've come to realize that W.A.C. Bennett cannot ...
