From end-to-end: Mountain views from the SkyTrain Evergreen Extension (VIDEO)

A new end-to-end video of the Evergreen Extension captured on a sunny day last week, right after the region experienced a major snowfall, shows sweeping views of the Coast Mountains dusted with white powder. The video begins at the new Lougheed Town Centre Station and ends at Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station, located at the foot of Burke and Eagle mountains.
The $1.4-billion, six-station Evergreen Extension of SkyTrain’s Millennium Line opened on December 2. It takes just 15 minutes for passengers to travel from Lougheed to Lafarge Lake-Douglas and approximately 35 minutes from VCC-Clark in Vancouver to Lafarge Lake-Douglas on a one-train ride.
