Railways

London is a railway town.  We are all too aware of the CN and CP lines which run right through the middle of town, but there is a third line that I did not know the history of.

This graffiti/art is on the side of a building not far from where we live in lovely SoHo.  I recently discovered that this building (which is now John's Fruits) was once the London Port Stanley Railway station!


The building sides on the river.  I was very brave and walked out on the bridge!  I am slowly trying to get over my fear of heights.

Here it is from the other side of the river.  I always called it the Led Zeppelin bridge, but now we know it is the LPSR bridge.  Perhaps as part of the SoHo rejuvenation project they could revive the line and we could take the train to Lake Erie!
