View from station platform

The photograph was originally recorded as a view from station platform looking north.

Additional information from Trevor Mills, 01/2012: This photo is looking south not north. It was taken from a boxcar at the freight shed. The station is the small building on the right of the photo so this could not have been taken from the platform.

In 1911, McKinnon and Norton of the Newport Timber Company were logging in Squamish in the area known as the base camp road, near Curly Lews' place. They had donkeys, a large shay engine, and a weird whistle. Mr McKinnon was a bartender and Mr Norton was a logger. Amedy Levesque and George Laviolette worked as brakemen on the locomotive. The camp was run by Mr Fuller.
