As we meet folks around Burlington, many tell us of the times
they came and went by train from the Burlington Junction
Station, which was located in the Hamlet of Freeman. Perhaps
you have your own memories of the Station, of watching the
old steam engines come chugging through, of helping farmers
bring their produce up Brant Street by horse and wagon to
load it on the fruit train.
