Title: London and Lake Erie Railway and Transportation Company car 84, at the company's car barns and shops at the intersection of Talbot and Stanley Streets and adjacent to the old St. Thomas Town Hall (partially visible in the background with the distinctive turret). St. Thomas City Directory for 1916 includes listings for "L & LE freight office and sub-station", 140-142 Talbot Street; "L & LE shops", 146 Talbot Street; and "Street car barns" (i.e. storage barns for the St. Thomas Street Railway), 154 Talbot Street, in the old Town Hall building. The Victoria Block, constructed in 1912 and at the time this photograph was taken occupied by the E.T. Wright & Company Shoe factory, 180 Talbot Street, is partially visible in the background with its distrinctive rooftop water tower. The rail car is marked "Mail & Express". A sign is visible reading "Stop 44". Railway tracks are visible leading west on old Talbot Street. Businesses on the north side of Talbot Street east of Stanley Street are visible in the background. The London and Lake Erie Railway and Transportation Company operated a "traction line" passenger service between London, Ontario and Port Stanley via St. Thomas. In 1908 the company took over the operation from the bankrupt South Western Traction Company (which was incorporated in 1902 and began operating a passenger rail service in October, 1907) until it went out of business in 1918. View is looking northeast. The Elgin County Archives has begun to digitize and publish online the vast collection of photographs recently donated by the late Ken Verrell.
