DescriptionPort Perry train station.jpg |
English: This image shows the Port Perry train station around 1880. It is taken looking to the north-northwest from the south side of today's Palmer Park. The dark object on the extreme left is a water tank for the trains, which appears to be the photographer's platform. The grain elevator, a prominent landmark today, is the large black building seen in the background.
Although the details are not recorded with the image, the picture appears to have been taken after the railway was extended to Lindsay in 1878. There are two lines visible in the image; the original line is seen on the left, running past the station and ending at the grain elevator. The second line, on the right, can be seen bending off to the left, following the known path of the Lindsay extension. The layout implies the line was extended by spurring off of the former mainline at a point to the south, off the left side of the image. It is not known if the two lines merged behind the elevator. A third line seen in other photos of the era runs just off to the right side of this image. It ran along the lakefront, passing the docks on the shore. |
