[Elgin M Loney · Rating 5 out of 5]

This wonderfully illustrated book explores a precious era in Canadian history you seldom hear about anymore. While some of us can recall the days of regular rail service, what I remember most are the wrenching goodbyes at the old stations, the hugs and the tears, and waving from the train window until loved ones were long out of sight. For those who miss the days of civilized travel, Mr Brown's book is a rare treat.

Quite a good book about Railway stations across Canada though I wish he had treated the topic of prostitution with a little more sensitivity.
