Across the country stations have been bulldozed and rails ripped up. Once the heart of communities large and small, stations and tracks have left little more than a gaping hole in Canadas landscapes. This book revisits the times when railways were the countrys economic lifeline, and the station the social centre. Here was where we worked, played, listened to political speeches, or simply said goodbye to loved ones never knowing when they would return. The landscapes which grew around the station are also explored and include such forgotten features as station hotels, restaurants, gardens and the once common railway YMCA. Railway companies often hired the worlds leading architects to design grand station buildings which ranged in style from chateau-esque to art deco. Even small town stations and wayside shelters displayed an artistic flare and elegance. Although most have vanished, the book celebrates the survival of that heritage in stations which have been saved or indeed remain in use. The book will appeal to anyone who has links with our rail era, or who simply appreciates the value of Canadas built heritage.</p>...1468720The Train Doesnt Stop Here Anymore168193https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-train-doesn-t-stop-here-anymore-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1309365/e2dfae80-77eb-4534-a143-50cd1f8ed594.jpg?v=638337839167100000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20089781459717794_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_<p>Despite the green benefits of rail travel, Canada has lost much of its railway heritage.
