Description

A crowd waits for the train at the railway station in Richmond in this photograph taken sometime in the 1920s. The Canadian National Railway line was put through Richmond in 1913, with a station built off Ottawa Street at the south end of the village. Ellis McLaren was appointed as the first station agent. In this photograph, the carriage at the far right is that of Ernest Brownlee who operated a service between the station and the main area of the village. The station agent lived over the station, as was the case in many places throughout Canada. Notice the two bicycles leaning up against the right-hand side of the station.
