History
George Bergson became interested in photography after taking a photography course in high school and since then has created over 40,000 photographs. George's particular interest has been the BCER Interurban trams and rail transportation in British Columbia. In his eary years, George worked as a CNR electrical apprentice in Vancouver and before he retired in 1990, George worked as a maintenance supervisor at Bridge Studios. While working as a maintenance supervisor at Bridge Studios, he managed to get the siding off of the Great Northern Railway to Bridge Studios and after removing the ties and rails he donated them to the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Railway Museum. Photographer, George Bergson and transportation historian, Henry Ewert, were the last people to take a ride on the BCER Interurban no.1203 on November 18, 1956. George has also donated hundreds of his photographs to the City of Vancouver Archives and the City of Coquitlam Archives.
