Back in the day: Railway world

The railway arrived in 1887 and it didn’t take long for the Apple Hill train station, north of Cornwall, to bustle with traffic. By 1910, every Wednesday farmers lined-up to move their produce and livestock to Montreal by rail. The King Edward Hotel with the Bank of Hochelaga is in the background behind the train station.
