In 1885, when the CPR first passed through Pitt Meadows, and for many years afterward there were only two trains per day through Pitt meadows – a west bound train in the am and an east bound train in the pm. On top of that, if you mailed a letter from one post office in the district to someone else in the district in the morning it was sorted on the train and delivered the same day. Two short trains per day would have meant no lineups on Harris Road at the tracks. However, before 1913 there was no Harris Road, no cars and a population of less than 250.
