When the railroad reached Port<br />
Guichon in 1903, the town<br />
eclipsed Ladner as <strong>Delta</strong>’s<br />
transportation centre. Originally<br />
the train stopped on the wharf<br />
to meet steamships from<br />
Victoria. In 1924, the train<br />
station was moved to nearby<br />
Savoy Street. <strong>The</strong> train<br />
continued to serve Port<br />
Guichon’s sawmill, hotel, farms<br />
and canneries into the 1930s.<br />
