County Line station is a stop for the Fraser Valley portion of the BC Electric Railway’s Inter Urban line. This part of the BCER line runs East from Cloverdale and into Langley. From 264 Street (aka County Line Road) the line goes diagonally through Aldergrove, crossing 272 Street just north of 32 avenue. Where 264th crosses 64th Avenue is the best candidate for the station.

Charles Arthur Pihan (1888-1943) was born in St. Helier, Jersey, Great Britain. He moved to Manitoba in 1911. He lived and worked in Vancouver for a time before moving to the County Line area, buying land between 264th and 62nd Avenue. Charlie met his future wife, Violet May Clemas (1902-1966), when she was hauling milk for her father to the Country Line Station. The couple married in 1920 and had 8 children: George, Violet, Ethel, Lily, Clarence, Minnie, Ann, and another that passed away. They went to County Line School, and in the early 1920's the family bought the property on which the present County Line School stands. In 1928 they bought property on the east end of Kendall Road (62nd Avenue). Charlie worked for the BCER for 25 years.
