- Description:
- As per the booklet by Irene Saunders, "As I Recall" ; Recollections of Years Gone By, ca2010, the Grand Trunk Railway laid the line in 1871 and it changed ownership to the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1914. The Hornby Station was on the east side of Trafalgar Road (Seventh Line). The station agent and his family lived in the back. Ticket service, baggage handling, telegraph service and freight shed were in front. John Garrett was the first ticket agent; over the years, Mr. Stout was agent in about 1910, Mr. Riordin in the 1930's, Mr. Kennedy from 1940 to 1945 when the CPR closed the ticket office, Mr. St. John in the early 1950's until the station was closed in 1955. The building was demolished in 1963.
- Notes:
- The 2nd picture enclosed with this record was taken in August 1962. (Click above on "Pages" "Select".) It shows that the roof had gone from the abandoned station building. But we do not know the date of the first, full-building photograph - just that it was not in summer.
