Door hinge on our 1913 CP Boxcar.
Note the square nuts.🟩
This boxcar ran the Apple Route
through the Golden Horseshoe
(Toronto/Hamilton) back in the day
during Apple Harvest season.🍏🍎
Our boxcar has since been repainted a
more accurate Boxcar Brown
(or Oxide Red).

Freeman Station moved
from its location beside the tracks -
to its new temporary home
behind the Burlington Fire Hall
where it remained for another 9 years.
In 2014 it moved again
to its current location
and forever (?) home. – at Burlington, Ontario
Burlington was among the first

😳🤩 Whoever invented this was a genius!!!!
Britain once delivered the post at full tilt… without the train ever stopping.
From the first successful exchanges in 1838 (thanks to pioneers like Nathaniel Worsdell, John Ramsey & John Dicker) to a peak of 245 lineside points by 1913, this system kept letters racing across the country for more than 130 years. The final bag exchange took place at Penrith on 4 October 1971, when roads and planes finally took over.
A quiet piece of railway ingenuity that moved the nation’s mail through the night.

The Freeman Post Office
was across the street.
You could get boots & shoes there too.
There was no official Village of Freeman.
It was an intersection on the Freeman family farmland just north of the village of Burlington Ontario. – at Burlington, Ontario
These post cards are
all cancelled at the
FREEMAN Ontatio Post Office
Most likely arrived
or were sent out
on the train at the station.
The 2 cent stamp dated 1927
is for Canada's 60th birthday. – at Burlington, Ontario
This baggage Cart on our platform
is painted bright RED to indicate
it was for Royal Mail.
The red carts were given higher priority
for processing the mail quickly & with
more security. 🕵️♀️
Mail was sorted on railcars en route.
Royal Mail Canada became
Canada Post in 1961. – at Burlington, Ontario
