Pacific Central Station

We’ll begin our tour at Pacific Central Station, completed in 1919. This historic station was a place of work for Black men from Hogan’s Alley, many of whom served as porters, helping passengers navigate the railways and carrying their luggage with pride. As we explore the station, you’ll learn about their vital contributions to Vancouver’s development and hear stories of resilience, community, and excellence in a time when opportunities were limited.
