    This is such a good, crisp photograph. I love it...I love railroad depots and always wish I could have one to set up as my quilt studio/reading room.

    This station is simple and looks very cosy, like those ones we can see in old movies! Fabulous shot!

    Lovely scene - on my map Uxbridge is a long way from York and Durham!

    I'm guessing that's in Canada? The funny thing is I've just been on a trip to York, but in the UK! :D

    That's a charming train station. Looks so well maintained but also old.

    This is an interesting railway station, I used to live near Uxbridge in UK - nowhere near York or Durham.

    What an absolutely beautiful old building! I take it this is still in use?

    And your photo is picture-perfect; terrific contrast; great whites and tack-sharp!

    I'm impressed!

    A very neat station - it reminds me of a poem by Edward Thomas - the first to stanzas always made me laugh:


    Yes. I remember Adlestrop—
    The name, because one afternoon
    Of heat the express-train drew up there
    Unwontedly. It was late June.

    The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
    No one left and no one came
    On the bare platform. What I saw
    Was Adlestrop—only the name
