By Aaron Chapman

Seventy years ago the Railway Club opened as a members-only pub for railway workers from the nearby Canadian Pacific station—the current home of the SeaBus. But the venue hasn’t always looked as it does today, nor did it begin as a place where beer-swilling brakemen could grab a pint or three before they staggered back to work down Seymour Street.
