So Sky train projects started almost at a time when Justin Trudeau was still playing with his trains =D

they were correct in the video’s description. this music is really nice 🎶🔥

I wonder if the order in which the stations appear on the tape has any importance... Columbia Scott Road Gateway Surrey Central Burrard King George Granville VCC-Clark Commercial Drive (still separate) Renfrew Rupert Gilmore Brentwood Town Centre Holdom Sperling-Burnaby Lake Lake City Way Stadium (no Chinatown) Production Way-University Lougheed Town Centre Braid Sapperton *WOODLANDS* Main Street-Science World "Train to" Broadway (no Cmm. Dr.) "Expo Line to" "Millennium Line to" "The next station is" "Terminus station" "For this train" "Would all passengers please leave the train at" "at" (joiner) Nanaimo "This train is being taken out of service" 29th Avenue "Passengers with valid passes may remain on board for return travel" (What's this one about?)

Seeing that Woodlands is in the list of recordings and the timeline of the project I'm surprised Bell, Boundary and Grandview aren't there.

This video is a grail. *Woodlands* I wonder if there's any importance to the order of the messages.

I was working on Terminal Ave. from 1981 to 1985. Oh this brings back memories, I watched it all get built. Can never forget how the building shook when they were pounding in the pilings. And the traffic snarl ups - legendary!! Bought a coffee cup at expo 86 with the image of the new Vancouver sky line, featuring B.C. Place with it's original dome. ( never used it ) figure it's a collector item now!

11:59 why didn’t they use this car on the expo line?

I love this nostalgia! ❤

What is the song in the Beginning?

Great video! The 80s aesthetic makes everything seem more optimistic.

LONGEST ANNOUNCEMENT IN MY LIFE!!!

My late husband was the project manager, I didn't realize they had shot video when the last concrete track completed. He also built the Columbian Station and constructed the Sky Train Bridge to Surrey and other sections of the track and Station.

Keep in mind Matthew Good was born in this city.

This would have made a great 80s sitcom…. Even has a great groovy theme song.

As long as there are people working in all the big buildings the rest of a city will come together. Once the jobs are gone, the rest of the ambiance and innovation deteriorate too.

Dang 😢 I never thought Science World could look like this in 1986 (in a good way)

I find it amazing how when u enter the tunnel at stadium and head to granville its a staight shot on a angle and then another to burrard on a angle then a massive curve to waterfront never get tired of that the enginnering was next level for that time so cool

oh i would love to take a magnetic recording of that

Can I say how this music is amazing? Because it's really jazzy, and I like it.

bruh thia is what happend in 1985 lol

Why does it feel like there was more people here

It’s been 15 years already? I remember the last day of these with Angus McIntyre doing the final run on 3 Main / Downtown.

Such stylish music!

Where’s the dominant Asian demographic that’s prevalent here in Vancouver!! Don’t see any in this video and if they are present it’s negligible at best Ffs 🤦🏽‍♂️ At it again, I see

Gay mustache alert at 2:51!

A bit late, but you happen to know the soundtrack name?

ahh, the city

1985. Vancouver was affordable, clean and safe. And you could read the signs.

That’s my exact bday, Dec 20 2011 :)

I miss those days!

I’d love to know what the background music in the beginning is called, if anyone knows. Shazam doesn’t seem to recognize it.

Bruh

what’s the song starting at 18:11

The 80s

They did not use Imperial. I bet a lot of people at the time were asking, what the hell is that?

Skytrain technology" noisy, wearing wheels on tracks instead of magnetic wheel technology was the decision.

I was there! My family moved to Vancouver in 83. I remember expo 86!

Famous last words: "They will move through curves without screeching"

I wonder how much we sold them for cause shipping ain't cheap.

It's a winner!

Going to town has a few different meanings lol

😮😢❤

why Skytrain goes, minimal traffic jam! i love it.

Man you gotta love the music in these videos

5:53 8:25 12:06

The most 80s thing ever

If you take of your rose coloured glasses , you will see that It does not work

Vancouver was happening and hopping in these days...Today, it just seems bogged down it itself, with never ending delays in every area of the lower mainland. Add the cost of living, the retrofitting of transit..which never ends, and, well...the basics apply...stay out of downtown, or any other traffic chaos section...good luck in the winter, and pay through the nose for gas....Unless absolutely necessary, stay away from the congestion...The phrase..if you build it..they will come.....might be in question now more than ever....
