Interurban tram No. 1223 has been restored by the joint efforts of the Friends of 1223 and Burnaby Village Museum.

Throughout the nearly fifty years of its existence this tram and seventy similar cars carried many thousands of settlers and commuters and helped to build Burnaby into a thriving community of over 80,000"; "Dedicated and placed here by Burnaby Historical Society. Nov. 30th 1958", hand lettered.
