Fredericton York Street Train Station Ornament
Fredericton York Street Train Station Ornament
Details
You can almost hear the chuff, chuff sound of its boiler as Locomotive 2929 prepares to leave the station. With smoke and steam billowing from its stack, the train slowly begins to move.
It was Thursday, February 16th, 1956 — a winter day like any other — when the last steam locomotive to operate in passenger service on the CPR’s Fredericton branch line chugged out of Fredericton’s York Street Station. On the platform that day, people were coming and going — saying hello, saying goodbye. As the train rumbled past, a mother held her baby tightly.
Aitkens Pewter proudly presents The York Street Station Ornament. This skillfully designed and beautifully crafted work of art celebrates the romance of the Age of Steam and the role it played in Canada’s cultural history.
The York Street Station Ornament from Aitkens Pewter: designed and crafted for people who appreciate not only Canada’s cultural history, but also the romance of days long past.
Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.
Shipping + Returns
We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
