Strawberries, trains and nostalgia were in plentiful supply for the St. Thomas Nostalgia Weekend (Saturday and Sunday June 23 & 24). The CASO Railway Station and the Elgin Country Railway Museum had lots to see and do at both locations.


Check out some photos from both locations on Saturday of the Nostalgia Weekend.

Dan noted that the most interesting part of working on models of local stations is talking to people from the village or town who become very interested in helping to recreate the scene from railway days as they remember it.
