The Canadian Northern Railway Station, historically known as ‘Langley Station’, was one of the stations built for the Canadian Northern Line. Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) was opened through Fort Langley in 1911, it was the third railway company to operate within the municipality. The ‘Langley Station’ is currently located in the historic town of Fort Langley, BC on the corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue.

It was originally constructed in 1915 on 23185 Mavis Avenue, was relocated and restored in October 1983. It was officially designated a heritage site in February 1984. A precedent was set with the CNR allowing the station to be relocated to CNR Land and the move marked the successful conclusion of a long campaign to save the building that many in the community felt was a memento of early days in Langley.

The station served the community full time until 1972, when it was reduced to flag stop status. In 1980 passenger service along the line stopped completely, and in 1981 the station was sadly declared redundant.
