Scope & content: Photograph, Harwood Station, Rice Lake, ON, 1896, Silver salts on glass - Gelatin dry plate process, 10 x 12 cm This image shows Harwood Station on the Cobourg and Peterborough Railway, as seen looking from the south to the north-northwest. On the right the rails run out onto the causeway that formed the first part of the bridge across Rice Lake. Tic Island, where the bridge proper started, can be seen in the distance. The causeway as seen in this image appears to be in bad repair, which suggests the photo was taken some time between 1861 when the bridge collapsed, and WWI when the rails were lifted and sent to Europe. The station appears to be abandoned, which suggests it was later during this span of time.
