I happen to have a train ticket from Montreal to Richmond, Grand Trunk Railway. More interesting, it is from March 1912, when Norman came to Margaret’s brother’s Dan’s funeral. (I just noticed! Marion and Flo would have passed through St. Henri and Pt. St. Charles so they would have rubbed shoulders with the parents and kids they taught in school… Many of these places don’t exist anymore. We tried to find Kingsbury and had no luck asking locals.
Grand Trunk Railway System, Conductor’s Ticket. Good for one first class ticket. Signed Charles M. Hays, President.
