Original railway station location Strathmore, AB
Anyone familiar on the exact location on where this was located. Nothing available online to pinpoint the location.
Cheers!

I was at the Strathmore Station earlier this summer and they had loads of historic pictures.
I'm sure one or two of those pictures could tell the story.

Is there a location for the original town? South could probably be in or around Eagle lake. Not too many per's in town can give an exact location.
