Gift inscription on FFEP. ; Illustrated with B&W and colour photos throughout. A bright, solid book Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; Oblong 8vo 8" to 9" tall; 220 pages; "Canada has lost much of its railway heritage. Across the country stations have been bulldozed and rails ripped up. Once the heart of communities large and small, stations and tracks have left little more than a gaping hole in Canada's landscapes. This book revisits the times when railways were the country's economic lifeline, and the station the social centre. Here was where we worked, played, listened to political speeches, or simply said goodbye to loved ones never knowing when they would return. The landscapes which grew around the station are also explored and include such forgotten features as station hotels, restaurants, gardens and the once common railway YMCA. Railway companies often hired the world's leading architects to design grand station buildings which ranged in style from chateau-esque to art deco. ". Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket .
