This morning as I was having breakfast the train was passing through close to where I live, I was reminded of years gone by when Friday was Train Day in Esther. All of the locals who had cream cans to ship to the creamery in Saskatoon would be there to drop the cans off on the platform of the old railroad station, I remember Mom getting a check from the creamery for 5 bucks for a can of cream. At one time the mail and groceries would also be on the train. Bill Foot would have his old one-ton truck backed up to the box car and everyone would help unload the groceries and mail and haul them over to the store. Good Friday was a special day as the CNR would add a passenger car to the train and all the school kids got a ride from Esther to the end of the line and back again. The railroad served the Esther community with various essential services for many years. Please excuse the quality of the photo as it was the only one I could find.
