Intercolonial Railway

My paternal grandfather was a station master at various stations in Nova Scotia. The railway provided him and his family a residence on the upper floor of the stations. It was in this station that his first two sons, Ed and Greg, were born. I believe his next posting was in Oxford Junction, N.S. where Uncle Frank was born. Then a few years later my father and Aunt Joan were born in the Pictou station(see Masthead on Home Page). Aunt Con, his first child, was not born in a railway station. She was born in the Bedford, N.S. house. Tatamagouche is on the Northumberland Strait and this station has been converted into “The Station Inn and Railway Dining Car”.
