"If CN has its way, the last real contact Bradford has with the railway will be gone soon when the train station is either sold or torn down. The railway was an integral part of the community when this photo was taken in 1939. Submitted by Wilbert Mulliss of Bradford, it shows Percy Stephenson, an express clerk at CN who delivered parcels to and from the train station and the post office. Stephenson, who was Mulliss' uncle, posed for this hot on Barrie Street with John Street West in the background. The old Model 'A' truck was owned by CN, and Stephenson worked for CN's agent in town, George Green, an insurance agent and former town clerk."

"Elizabeth Willmot is a lover of old railway stations. For the past 10 years she has been travelling around the province collecting historical information and taking photographs of railway stations for her recently published book "Meet Me At The Station." "The book is a nostalgic approach to the old stations. It's not intended in any way to be a textbook," Mrs. Willmot explained in an interview. Recently, the McMichael Canadian Collection in Kleinburg featured an exhibit of photographs of Ontario railway stations from her book."

Photograph of the Holland River Bridge in 1920. The boat in the centre of the photograph are the hay-cutters of the Holland Marsh on the boat they would use to transport their daily work. This was prior to the marsh's drainage. Horses were transported up-river to work on the Marsh wearing wooden shoes. In the photograph, there are men fishing off the bridge, and on the right side (west of the bridge) you can see the water tower which trains used to fill up their water supply.
