Elgin/Phillipsville

The original B&W Elgin station was later renamed Phillispville due to the fact that when the CNoR took over the BW&NW Railway,
they had an Elgin station on their Ottawa to Toronto line which conflicted with the one on the former B&W line.
Also at some point in time the original Elgin station burned down and was replaced with a small flag stop station as seen in the bottom photo.
