Synopsis
There was a time when residents of Ontario communities listened eagerly for the locomotive's whistle, when travellers and train watchers stood on boarding platforms of vital railway stations and thrilled to the sight of steam, when passenger trains and mixed freights warmed the rails at all hours, when any time was train time.
The grand old days of the steam locomotive once seemed as permanent as anything could be. The bricklayers and stonemasons who built many of the stations in this book believed their work would last forever. Sadly, few of the original stations remain and the sound of the steam whistle is now a cherished memory.
Writer-photographer Elizabeth Willmot has preserved an important part of Canada's heritage in this wonderful collection of nostalgic photographs and colourful stories.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine/As New. First Edition. 95pp/Map showing location of stations written about of which there are 21. Elizabeth Willmot's books on railway stations are superb. Her enthusiasm shows through! As an author of books on CPR stations in BC, I share her enthusiasm for this fascinating form of architecture and its place in the Canadian cultural mosaic. The former owner's signature is on the flyleaf page and the following page with dates. Barely legible on the former and quite small on the latter. The book would be graded as new except for this.
