A Unique Venue
Located in the False Creek Flats area of beautiful Vancouver, this renovated mid-1950’s
locomotive maintenance building is a unique venue for your very special event. This classic,
vintage rail building was remodeled by Rocky Mountaineer for use as their Train Station.
Combining a nostalgic feel with contemporary design, this bright and flexible space includes
an exposed timber and brick interior, large glass windows, 35 foot vaulted ceilings, with metal
beams and drive-in access through three overhead doors. All materials selected reflect the
Canadian Rockies in their colour and texture while the overall design shows a flow, attention to
detail and flexibility in the space so you can create your Event of a Lifetime.
The station caters to large gala and corporate events, charity fundraisers, weddings, concerts,
festivals, markets and other private functions.
