Friends in the News

Past president Tim Scammell noticed that there was a new entry way into the station, and made some calls. The Daily Gleaner reports that J.D. Irving's contractor will fix the board and repair a gap in the fence.

Spokesperson Geoff Britt said "the company continues to work to find development opportunities for the station and surrounding properties."

I walked by the station at noon Wednesday and saw the new hole. Notice how the brickwork is starting to fall apart at the top of the wall.

Roof Patched?

Blogger Charles Leblanc noticed some new patches on the station's roof recently. It's good to see that some work is being done.

Hello

Hello, Friends, and welcome to our new web site dedicated to preserving our railway station here in Fredericton. I have set the web site up in a blog format, to allow for easy updating. I intend to post about once a week here, referencing news about the station, mixed in with photos and stories about the station and railways in Fredericton from days gone by.

A little about me. My name is Steve Boyko and I recently became the president of the Fredericton Friends of the Railway. I have been involved with the station project for some time, first as a member and later as a director. I am a rail enthusiast (with my own web site and blog) and I have worked with the New Brunswick Railway Museum since about 1998.

I want to hear from you. I want suggestions on how to proceed, criticism, whatever it takes to get this station in good hands.

Thank you for reading.
