The VIA Rail station in Springhill

View from a train window in dwindling daylight of a train station that has seen better days. The doors and windows on the left side of the long low building are boarded over. A single light over a white door in the middle of the building illuminates the VIA Rail sign and a limp Canadian flag. The roof is shingled. The platform in front of the station is empty, and there is a little snow on the ground. Credit: Joan Baxter
