Wanted: Pictures of Muskoka Railway Stations |
 I just wanted to let your readers know that the fledgling new Muskoka Rails Museum in Bracebridge is moving ahead rapidly with preparation for some temporary exhibits on Muskoka's railway heritage right
In Particular, we are interested in old artifacts from the railway era, such as tickets, lanterns, uniforms, baggage carts and manifests, timetables, clocks, benches. We also need pictures or films of railway scenes, especially stations. now, and to ask for some help in developing them.

At the moment we have various shots of Orillia, Washago, Severn Bridge, Kilworthy, Gravenhurst, Muskoka Wharf, Bracebridge, Utterson, Huntsville and Burk's Falls stations, plus the depots at Bala, Torrance, Bala Park, Barnesdale and MacTier, as well as the old Portage Railway.
But we have nothing for South Falls, Falkenburg, Martin's Siding, Novar, Scotia Junction, Emsdale, Katrine, or any stations farther up the line, or for that matter Foot's Bay or Gordon Bay. We would certainly like to do justice to as much of Muskoka and vicinity as possible.
Anyone who has any such pictures or other relics or memorabilia about our railways is urged to contact . Dave Powley.
Meanwhile, we hope to see you all, starting around May 24.
