WWII McAdam Troop Train Memorial Mural

Street Address: 198 Saunders Rd, McAdam, New Brunswick

There is a mural painted by Russell London on the end wall of the Lakeland Motel in McAdam. Many troop trains stopped at the McAdam Railway Station during World War II. One of the first was the train carrying the Carleton & York Regiment from Woodstock to Halifax and on their way overseas. Since the Regiment had a number of men from McAdam, this train was greeted by a large crowd. The mural depicts various incidents which occurred when troops trains stopped at the station. In the mural one soldier is reading a newspaper with headlines covering the evacuation of Dunkirk.
