Lynden Station

The Great Western Railway was a major influence on many rural communities as it allowed farmers to ship their crops to larger cities or even across the world. Such was the case with flour from Thompson's Mill, which was shipped to Scotland and the West Indies as well as supplying Ontario and Quebec markets. As rail lines changed and were rerouted over the years, as well as the advent of automotive transport, eventually the Lynden Station was torn down. When the station was demolished, it's lumber was used to build a house south of Governors Road on Weir Road.
