REMEMBER THIS?: Carl Beilhartz helped put Bruce Station on the rail map

The Beilhartz photo collection at the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library offers a window into a changing cityscape: trains rolling through town, familiar buildings and local events frozen in time

Remember This? Rather, remember these?

Carl Beilhartz was an important figure in establishing Bruce Station as part of the Algoma Central Railway and the Hudson Bay Railway.

This would prove important in developing connections between northern communities.

In the Beilhartz photo collection here at Sault Ste. Marie Public Library, we have a number of photos of buildings, locales, trains and happenings that occurred in Sault Ste. Marie, including an unusual number of fires and their aftermath.

The fires included are a Beaver Lumber fire (1973), Greenwood fire (1965), a curling rink fire, the Diplomat Restaurant fire (1965), Columbia Hall (1966), and a fire in 1961.
