English: One of the best known images of the Port Perry train station, looking almost due north some time in 1912. A train can be seen approaching the camera's location on the former mainline of the Port Whitby and Port Perry Railway. Visible just to the right is the new mainline, which leads past the town and north-east to Lindsay. The grain elevator can be seen rising above the station, just to the left. Lake Scugog is just visible on the extreme right.

One of the best photographs of the Port Perry Railway station, with the train arriving from Lindsay was this post card photo taken about 1912. The station was located in what is now known as Palmer Park where the Rotary Gazebo now stands. The lakefront was entirely commercial at this time, with grain and lumber mills, railway station and docks for the steamboats. A far cry from the beautiful park we enjoy today.
