 However, when the CNoR opened the Lulu Island branch line in 1917, it connected with the British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER) Queensborough terminus.Since the original BCER Queensborough bridge was designed for trams, not heavy locomotives, the CNoR westward route to Steveston was an isolated branch line.After the CNR absorption of the bankrupt CNoR, the money-losing branch, and damage to trestles from a 1918 muskeg fire at Mile 4, terminated all services.
