Was this the CPR train station at Rutherglen? Shirley Church has written in with detailed memories of life in Rutherglen. She writes: “I am originally from Rutherglen and heard my father, aunts and uncles talk about the Rutherglen Station for years. I have one aunt left alive and I am sure she would remember it.

“As far as I know, part of the original building still stands today. It is on Park Street, which runs behind the local store on the highway. The building is now a house but it stands less than a stone’s throw from the [CPR] railway tracks, with the municipal road running right in front of it. A man named Francis Clouthier lived there for years until he passed a couple of years ago. Not sure who lives there now. The local general store is called Gagne’s Red & White by the locals but it has not been a ‘Red & White’ store for many years. I think it sells mainly building materials now.

“My father talked about walking out to meet the train when he was a young man. Although he never rode on a train ’til many years later, it was a way to pass a Saturday night in a small country community. Of course, all the young adults would congregate there to talk over the local gossip and share the week’s events. As a young child, I can recall my parents gathering to play cards and talk over the ‘old days,’ to which the goings on at the Rutherglen Station were always part of the talk.”

“I hope this helps a bit to explain the postcard…it reminds me of the stories I heard on those cold winter nights as people gathered close to our wood stove with the sounds of ‘Hockey Night in Canada’ in the background as they visited away. As I looked at the picture, I could see the gang walking down to the station and sitting around chatting away as someone with an old Brownie camera click[ed] a picture of them. Hummm…wonder who the people in this photograph are…perhaps their families still have roots in Rutherglen? Would be nice to know!!”
