Garthby station, its cement platform overlooking the tracks. The architecture of the station is typical of the stations built at that time. On the facade facing us is a sign with the inscription "Garthby".
In the foreground, on the cement platform, a cart of the type pulled by hand and a milk can placed on it. To the right of the station, a buggy to carry passengers; a horse is harnessed to it.
On the front of the station overlooking the tracks are two benches with a wrought iron side structure. A luggage rack with two wheels at the front is leaning against the wall. On a small gallery accessed by three steps are some milk cans.
To the left and a little bit in the background and moving away towards the background, we see the main railroad and two secondary branches, one on the left and the other on the right. On each of these sidings is parked a freight car.

Lemay, Noël, 1890-1967
