Canadian National's Western Stations

Author Charles Bohi has spent countless summers combing Canada's west
for information and photographing thousands of stations and structures. The result is this
concise, authoritative account accompanied by over 130 photos and sketches. But not
simnply snapshots of boarded-up stations...almost all the photos are superb action shots,
showing the stations in use, occupied, earning revenue, or with today's train passing
through.

You'll see how the station agent and his family lived in their own
depot-home, complete with flower gardens and neatly trimmed hedges. You'll shiver as you
think about the waiting room's pot-bellied stoves that the agents stoked, trying vainly to
keep cold prairie winds at bay. And you'll learn just what made each station unique and
what to look for when you next go "station hunting".
