    the British Columbia Electric Railway ran electric trains until the '40s when tire rubber made buses so attractive that they swapped reliable climate-conscious trains for buses fighting the light and traffic and smelling the place up.

    The trains were mixed-use on the same train, with light freight in the back. They ran from the north shore to Chilliwack, pretty much. We’ve yet to replicate that.
