Holland Centre, March 28 1959. Many things come to mind - first I need to remember to record the date when taking photos (I rarely do this), 2nd I was in grade 13 when this was taken!, 3rd little did I know that I would end up spending most of my life living in Markdale - just about 10 km south of Holland Centre, 4th - we moved to Markdale in the late 60's and I remember them tearing down the Holland Centre station. I didn't realize it was so small! Lastly - can't wait to hear the details Ian has teased us with about this photo. I have only been on rail through Holland Centre twice in my life - first was on the UCRS trip from TO to Owen Sound via CPR, and return to TO from Owen Sound via CN (Diefenbaker was on the trip north!), and the second time was on a jigger with our model rail group shortly before the rail was lifted after abandonment.
