Fort Wellington, 1929. Looking a bit worse
for wear. |
 |
Windmill Point. An aesthetic scene itself
even without the historical and nostalgic connotations. This shows Highway #2, which at
the time ran much closer to the windmill. Now, there is also a small quarry between the
windmill and the current highway. |

New Wexford. Until the 1970s, this is where
the trains crossed a bridge to get to the CPR yards south of Fort Wellington. Note the
steam train chugging along at the bottom of the picture. |
