That jumped out at me too. Freight service ended in May 2001 IIRC.
Also, “The Arbutus Corridor was home to a busy Interurban tram line between 1905 and 1958” is technically incorrect. Interurbans on the Arbutus line stopped in July 1952. From then on until 1958 the interurban only ran from Marpole to Steveston (and from Marpole to New Westminter until 1956).
