Over the past 20 years the Western Vancouver Island Industrial Heritage Society has restored a number of pieces of railway rolling stock that operated in the Alberni Valley. These include the 2-Spot, a 1912 Shay logging locomotive, the 1928 Westminster Iron Works "Buda" a gas powered switching engine and the 1929 Baldwin 2-8-2T, the "No.7" which pulls the train to the McLean Mill.
The Society was originally formed to restore the Shay logging locomotive "2 - Spot" in 1980. They then turned their attention to the steam donkey from the McLean Mill. The Society has operated a steam and diesel train ride along the industrial waterfront in the City since 1984 operating out of the restored 1912 CPR Station at Argyle and Kingsway. They also took the 2-Spot and the steam donkey to "Steam Expo" in Vancouver in 1986. They love to pull wrenches and tell stories and maybe you'll meet some of them on the train.
Our Steam Train departs from the E&N Train Station at 3100 Kingsway Avenue. The train then travels along the Alberni Pacific Railway towards its destination, the McLean Mill National Historic Site at 5633 Smith Road.
