Rowley Train Station 1923

Rowley, Alberta "Ghost Town"

The train station was built in 1923 and was well used...

Since the early years of the 20th century Rowley has been a train town, a place where people crowded the station daily to meet people, load grain and receive supplies. Before roads and highways were built, trains carried their hopes and dreams through drought, grasshoppers, storms, fires, depression, and modern-day urbanization. But in 1997, the last engine passed, and the ghosts are calling again.
