We arrive in Rogersville, New Brunswick a few minutes before our scheduled departure time of 1:27 PM. Rogersville is a french village north of Moncton with a population of approximately 1000. It's "main street" is provincial highway 126 with one of it's main industries being logging. Rogersville is also known in the province for it's religious establishments as it has several Roman Catholic Churches as well as two monasteries. Locally, they are known as "Les Trappists" and "Les Trappistine".
Rogersville also serves as a midway point to our next station stop both by rail and by car. A bit of a "last chance gas station" town as it were.
I don't have any pictures of the Rogersville station as it didn't have one at the time. The railway platform was just that, a simple platform in it's town center between the tracks and the 126. Heading north, this would mean the platform being on the right side of the train.
It's 1:27 PM, time to continue the journey north. The horn blares, the bell starts to ring and the train begins to roll again.
