Author brings charm of old railway stations to Midland Elizabeth Wilmot, author of Meet Me At The Station, met with 30 admirers and fellow enthusiasts at Midland's public library last week, and talked about' her great passion - early Ontario railway stations. The architecture of these rural buildings, many of them abandoned now, seems an unlikely hobby for an attractive Gs She explains her nusiasm this way: iy father was an ar- chitect. Wherever we went, he was always pointing out particular details of buildings and I think that opened my eyes to the joys of seeking out old railway stations. They were built with such pride and individuality." Miss Wilmot told her audience that 1853 marked the beginning of the golden age of railways in Canada. "And the Stations that were built along the lines were a joy to each village. Each one had a personality and was the scene of many (and sad) comings and goings." : Now, with the decline in rail service, and the emphasis on speed and efficiency, the old stations are _ disap- pearing. "What we gained in speed, we lost in romance," said Miss Wilmot. With her, she brought a collection of 85 coloured slides that she gathered through Ontario.
