From 1875-1900's, the railway station was seen as the heart of every Canadian town(J. Edward Martin. Railway Stations of Western Canada. p. 3). It was a meeting place, where people chatted in the evening and where goods and news were received and dispatched (J. Edward Martin. Railway Stations of Western Canada. p. 3) . Often when there was no church in a town, the station acted as a gathering place for many parishioners on Sunday morning. |
