Victoria Terminal Railway and Ferry Company

[3] In May 1903, the VTRF opened the short Cloverdale–Port Guichon railway link and commenced the Port Guichon–Sidney train ferry that connected with the V&S.

[6] Cloverdale was an interchange on the New Westminster Southern Railway Company (NWSR), a GN subsidiary, which at the time connected today's Pacific Highway Border Crossing with Brownsville (Surrey docks).

[6] Following stiff competition from Canadian Pacific Railway steamers from Vancouver and New Westminster (the latter calling at Port Guichon) and the withdrawal of an expected subsidy from the City of Victoria, the GN passenger ferry discontinued in December 1904.

A 2.4-by-3.7-metre (8 by 12 ft) passenger shelter shed stood at the original Ladner station site, which was later renamed Challucthan.

[11] In 1924, the depot building, initially on the wharf, was loaded onto a flatcar and carried to a new location on Savoy St.[12] Freight from the sawmill and milk condensing plant at Port Guichon and crops from East Delta became the major source of revenue.
