What a wonderful tour! Learning about the world that was the McAdam Railway Station in itsโ heyday was so much fun! Our reception was very warm and welcoming. The welcome, combined with the remarkably well maintained station entrance started our journey and was full with facts and anecdotes of days gone by! Emily was our tour guide, she truly has an appreciation and passion for this beautiful place and happily shared stories and history of this station; a hub that was vital to the community, New Brunswick and Canada! I do hope that Heritage Canada helps restore this amazing Railway Station I know I will be sending note to the office of the Minister! The upper portion The Hotel and Offices are in dire need of restoration so many private donations have helped, but to keep this National Treasure will take a commitment from the government of Canada! Thanks to the wonderful staff, and Emily our amazing tour guide could not have been better, we appreciated the Stationโs history so much more because of your passion and knowledge!

We had no idea what they were talking about, but we soon found out that on Sundays they serve pie at the lunch counter while a man dressed as a conductor gives a talk on the history of the train station. We ordered two slices of pie, but both pieces were so large, we could only share the one and saved the other for later. We got the coconut cream pie, which was delicious, but they have others. Also, we were too late for the talk, but with pie, it costs $15 each to attend. Without the talk, it is $10 per piece of pie. I recommend that you buy one piece and share it unless you're...
