They saw the boys off to the First World War here, and we1comefthem back when it was over. Herbert Weinert, " ca- shier at the Herbert Street train station for' m years. remembers its times. when it was a mal distribution point for the products of many the area manufacturers. When he was employed there, until his retirement in 1961, there were six staff members besides himself. including an operator, two shedmen and a couple assis- tants. They handled both the passenger and freight divi- sions of the station. Mr. Weinert. who started working for CN when he was sixteen, still remembers walking to his home on Erb Street for lunch. He says his memory is not as sharp as it once was, but he does mar- vel at the changes in face of downtown “late. over the years. One of th changes is the me- tamorphosis of a busy train station into a relic. There have been suggestions of using the station land as a parking lot, something already done to a small ex- tent It will be interesting to see what becomes of the Herbert Street station. whether it is preserved or removed.
