A cornerstone of Strathroy history went up in flames last night as the town's 117-year-old train station was demolished by a blaze that took more than 35 firefighters to get under control. The fire started shortly after 5 p.m. but by the time firefighters arrived at the scene, at the main intersection of downtown Strathroy, the building was engulfed by flames. It took them more than an hour to get the fire under control and many more to put it out entirely
