(someone attempted repairs) (check the scans) cover now protected in mylar. "The Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway was one of Canada's 'other' railways. With a main line only 104 miles long, it was a dwarf by North American standards. In foresight and progressive thinking, however, throughout its entire 102 - year history, the TH & B was a giant. The TH & B was born when railways were supreme. When the train meant escape, adventure, romance -- far away places -- excitement -- and success or failure for the businessman whose survival hung on a railway's inclination to move his goods on time. It was born at a time when industrialist and politician , farmer and factory worker depended upon the train to take them beyond the restricting confines of their home towns; a time when bowler-hatted railway tycoons held gold watches against portly bellies and disdainfully damned all those who would interfere with the schedules they had set; a time when the 'railway man' was revered in his community like some knight of old with great tales of conquest to be told."
