Then and Now The Train The Train

So days collage is about the first train that arrived in Edmonton.
In 1891 the C & E Railway operated between Calgary and Edmonton. They had a station on the southside of Edmonton and the top picture shows the the train after it had arrived here.
The bottom picture is a replica of that station which today operates as a museum.

A great theme for the challenge. I love such comparisons. I like the shade of the chimney the most.

Wonderful shots of this historical building.

It still looks very similar to how it looked in the 1890s

[Jane Anderson]

We have train stations here that now house museums too.

Nice comparison shots. It is nice that they kept the building and have made it into a museum.

The passing years make a big difference in the way we view our world. I wonder if they complained as much as we do. Probably. Somethings never change.
