The original Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Station
E&N Station) in Nanaimo opened in 1886.

In 1920 a new E&N Station was built by the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company on the site
of the original station. It remained in continuous
use until it was gutted by an arson fire in 2007.

A community movement is underway to restore
Nanaimo’s historical E&N Train Station.
The recently formed Nanaimo Train Station
Partnership has embarked on a community outreach
funding initiative to complete the restoration.
