Lonely Planet review

Those interested in the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway should visit the Roundhouse, formerly a CPR repair shed. It now houses handsome Engine No 374 (www.wcra.org/engine374), which brought the first passenger train into the city in 1887. Yaletown was once a busy locomotive hub, and rail lines are still embedded in the streets around the area.

This is a busy community facility, so you can rub shoulders with the locals here at a wide array of educational classes, eclectic theater productions and ever-changing cultural events.
