London & Port Stanley Railway interurban car 14 is seen at the railway's London station on Bathurst Street, just to the south of CN's station. Built in 1917 by the Jewett Car Company, 14 saw service until the end of passenger service in 1957. After spending a number of years at the Canadian Railway Museum in St. Constant, QC, 14 returned to St. Thomas as part of the Elgin County Railway Museum collection. Volunteers of the ECRM have dedicated years of work to restore the car, and with assistance from expertise at the Halton County Radial Railway, (where L&PS 8 is operated), have restored to car to operating condition. A joint event with the Elgin County Railway Museum and the Port Stanley Terminal Railway will take place on Saturday, March 24, 2025, where L&PS 14 will operate over the former L&PS line from St. Thomas to Port Stanley, pulled by one of PSTR's diesels. Cheers to all involved in this undertaking. Charles Forman Photo, Helmut Ostermann Collection Slide.

    That photo is so stunning I wish I could have been there. And this is only from the 50s? It looks so much earlier to me, but again, it sure is beautiful.
