Nanaimo's newly restored historic train station reopened on Wednesday July 25, 2012. The original structure was almost completely destroyed by arsonists in 2007. An earlier structure was officially opened Aug. 13, 1886, following Sir John A. Macdonald's hammering the "last spike" of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railroad at Cliffside, near Shawnigan Lake. The first train arrived in Nanaimo at 12:30 p.m. that day. The station this replaces was built in 1920 and uses the same materials and design at the 1920 structure - Rear view (3/3) - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia where he works also as a writer and a personal trainer.

A short freight train still passes this station a few times per week.
