Railroad crossing

Black and white photograph of the railroad crossing at Welland Station, c. 1921.

The photo was included in the 'Report on Survey of City of Welland', by Thomas Adams, Consultant, for Welland's City Planning Commission. His comment underneath the photo reads: "The grade crossing over the railway at Welland Station. A difficult place to build a sub-way. Should a fine station be erected here, and the traffic deflected where a sub-way is more practicable."

"Thomas Adams was a prominent town planner in early-20th-century Canada. He influenced the adoption and amendment of provincial planning legislation modelled on the British example in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island... He was also a sought-after planner who provided advice on the design of urban landscapes in Canada and Newfoundland, and led the development of company towns and innovative public housing projects." - https://parks.canada.ca/culture/designation/personnage-person/thomas-adams
