Lakeshore Labyrinth

On the east side of Lakeshore Drive United Church, on Lakeshore Drive in Morrisburg, Ontario. There stands a pole with a sign on it that says LAKESHORE LABYRINTH with an arrow that points to the back of the church.

It says this on both sides.

I went there to photograph the Essie Jane Tuttle Bench. When I arrived behind the church I saw a plaque. Aha! The Lakeshore Labyrinth is a memorial.

So I looked around and thought, "Alright, where's the labyrinth?"

Then I noticed the large stone patio, laid out with a maze. Very clever. So I photographed it and you are looking at the pictures I took.

Aultsville Station

Aultsville Station, originally stood in the community of Aultsville, flooded in 1958 by the St. Lawrence Seaway project. Special large transport vehicles moved homes, a church and the Aultsville Station from land destined for flooding. The church stands in Upper Canada Village. Aultsville Station, along with a Grand Trunk Railway locomotive and two passenger cars occupies a place south of County Road 2, within the Crysler Park Marina, west of Upper Canada Village.

The guard at the entrance of the marina kindly let me into the marina to photograph the station.

The St. Lawrence Parks Commission gratefully acknowledges the Save the Train Committee's contribution of time and effort to fundraise and assist with the joint restoration project for the Aultsville Train Station.

AULTSVILLE TRAIN STATION AND LOCOMOTIVE 1008
Grand Trunk locomotive 1008 is an 8 wheeler 2-6-0 Mogul of the E10a class built in 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company {CLC} at Kingston, Ontario. Coach 3474 was retired in August of 1957 and was soon after donated to the Ontario St. Lawrence Development Commission. The train stands on a section of the original Grand Trunk Railway track that was left in place at the time of the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1950s.

The Aultsville Train Station was constructed between 1866 and 1889 for the Grand Trunk Railway Company. Originally located in Aultsville, one of the villages that were lost as a result of the flooding during the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway, the station was donated to the St. Lawrence Parks Commission and relocated to the present location in the late 1950s.


La Commission des parcs du Saint-Laurent reconnaît avec gratitude la contribution du comité de la sauvegarde du train en temps et en argent pour la collecte de fonds et l'aide apportée au projet de restauration de la gare Aultsville.

LA GARE AULTSVILLE ET LA LOCOMOTIVE 1008
La locomotive 1008 du Grand-Tronc est un «Mogul» 2-6-0 à huit roues de classe E10a, construite en 1910 par la Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) à Kingston, Ontario. La voiture-coach 3474 a été mise hors service au mois d'août 1957 et peu après, fut donnée à l'Ontario-St. Lawrece Development Commission. Le train se trouve sur une partie de la voie ferrée originelle du chemin de fer du Grand-Tronc laissé en place au moment de la construcion de la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent dans les années 1950.

La gare Aultsville a été construite entre 1866 et 1889 pour la companie du chemin de fer du Grand-Tronc. Originellement située à Aultsville, l'un des villages engioutis lors de la création de la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent, la gare a été donnée à la Commission des parcs du Saint-Laurent et deménagée à son emplacement actuel vers la fin des années 1950.
