Photograph depicts 3-truck Shay locomotive #114 at the Vancouver Wharves Ltd. in North Vancouver. It was built in July 1928 as #3320. The ability of geared locomotives to exert maximum traction at low speeds was an asset when moving loaded grain cars to dockside elevators. The shay did this work until its boiler certificate expired. The hut at night contains a vertical steam boiler which appears to heat the fuel oil for locomotives coming from a fixed rail tank car.

Photograph depicts the B.C. Electric Railway trestle bridge over False Creek looking north at the fixed span. The fixed span can be removed by floating it onto a scow on rising tide to allow large and newly launched ships to get out to sea.
