Hamilton: The Cenotaph
(Click the image to go forward in time)

A classic postcard of a motor coach in front of the Cenotaph in Hamilton, with the Public Buildings, home of the colonial government, in the background.

The station at Parliament Street was the Bermuda's Railway's centre and starting point. From here trains went east to St. George's and west to Somerset.

Of course, because of the way the line was laid out, St. George's trains started off going west, to Queen Street and the other Hamilton stations, while Somerset trains started off east, passing the line's Middle Road yards before turning south across the long Springfield Trestle at the foot of Hamilton Harbour and then continuing west towards Paget and Warwick.
