Locally known as the "H-Tree" with the
"Canadian National Railway Station"
in the background.



The train station has since been moved to
the Old Hope Princeton Hwy.



The H-tree (two trees that have grown together)
still stands on Hudson Bay Street...

...although the empty space at the bottom
is now completely filled in
