History
George Allan Matheson was born in Sherbrooke on 3 January 1941, son of Allan Matheson (1909-1979) and Bertha Ham (1912-1975). Shortly after graduating from Lennoxville High School, he went to work for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in 1959. He spent his career as a CPR employee, primarily working in Megantic and Sherbrooke, and retired from his position as assistant terminal supervisor in 1996. An avid railroad buff, Matheson continued to pursue his love of trains following his retirement as he diligently photographed and identified trains travelling through the Eastern Townships, as well in other areas of Quebec, Ontario, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
