Thanks for the update.
What a wonderful repository of stories and images. We are so fortunate to have those among us who care for our past.
Thanks for the note Ken. I’m always on the lookout for intersting stories and photos. There’s more out there. The trick is finding them. The best aren’t on the internet but in private collections.

Awesome post. My grandfather Alex Drew worked on the Havelock Sub through Sharbot Lake up until 1965 for CP Rail doing maintenance of way work.

Hello Gene, My wife & I are travelling to Sharbot Lake on Thursday afternoon until Friday (Sept 15 & 16). We will be stopping in to K & P Brewery. I have a particular relationship to the K & P Railway as my great grandfather John Craig was hired on the railway as a waterboy in 1872 and finshed his career as conductor on the railway in 1926, 53 years. You have an article written by Don Gibson, son of Dellerene Gibson, John Craig’s daughter. It was written in 1982. Will you be around during this time.
Hi Bruce.
Thanks for reaching out.
I’m unable to be there on Thursday. Wish I could. I live in Ottawa and make trips there several times a month. Maybe next time you are up.
When I was a younger I used to help Mrs. Gibson with the spring and fall yard cleanup at her place on the island. I took over this job from Frank Dowdall, my great uncle. I have a few connections to the K&P and CPR as well. Uncle Frank was section foreman at Sharbot Lake, my grandfather, William (Scotty) Meldrum was a baggage handler and assistant agent. They probably crossed paths. My grandfather started at Sharbot Lake on the railroad circa 1921.
Talk to you soon, Gene Kirkham
