This picture was taken when the final steam train arrived from Port McNicoll on the CPR line that joined the Main CPR line from Sudbury. This would be about 1968 and it shows one of the new diesel engines. In between 
the locomotives is the Medonte Station (it replaced the Coldwater Junction station) which remained there for
another 20 years. It has since been demolished.
 

Waterdown 1..... Actually the station was located in Aldershot  about 3 miles from Waterdown .....
The road closest to the Station from Waterdown to 
Aldershot  was a private Toll road  with  the  with 
Toll Gate House and Aldershot Post Office 
Located in the Roderick Hotel   a few hundred feet 
East of the station..This photo shows  the oldest
station on this site  The photographer is unknown  c

Waterdown 2.....  GTR  rebuilt this  station  on the same 
site as Waterdown 1
The photographer is unkown

Aldershot Station ....1950  re-novated

Alderdale ...Located in Chisholm Township, 
Parry Sound District, Ontario on the Second Transcontinental  route built by Canadian Northern
Ontario Railway in 1915 . The C.N.O.R.  went 
bankrupt in 1918 and the in 1923 the line became
C.N.R. The three Alderdale photos  where
collected by the Chisholm Womens Istitute. 
The line closed 24th Nov. 1995 and the steel 
was lifted ... No names  were recorded for any
of the people nor was there a photographer 
credited ....c 1920s

Foss Mill  Located in Chisholm Township as well but 
still further east on concession 5....Fassett Lumber Co. purchased  the site beside the CNR  Algonquin RR line 
and small Saw Mill from Wm. Foster 
around 1924 . Fassett dismantled  Fosters buildings 
and built a new Mill & Town Site and named it Foss 
Mill .... Fassett also built a  private logging railway
into  Algonquin park .. J.R Booth had a Logging 
siding at Foos Mill as well.. The Mill was destroyed 
by fire  26Aug. 1934 and never rebuilt . Jack McGibbon stands beside his car, Irene howard is next on the 
right and  Jack's daughter Peggy McGibbon is 
sitting in the car . CWI photo c 1920s 

Kiosk  was located (23km)14 miles further East on the
CNR Algonquin line ... The site had been abandoned 
by Booth & Mackey Lumber Companies by 1936
... S. Staniforth aquired the timberlimits in the area
for hardwood etc. and established Staniforth Lumber Co.  Over 70 workers from the destroyed FossMill worked 
in this new mill and a lot of them m oved to Kiosk.... The kiosk mill was destroyed by fire on 13 July1973 affecting about 600 people ...The pland was bulldozed and the park timber licences were cancelled  Kiosk was no more..

Wasing was located further East on the line  but
still in Chisholm Township on Concession 6-7.... 
The young woman in the photo is Doreen Smith sitting 
on a cream can from her parents  farm . 
No -photographer is credited for the Wasing photo 
but it belonged to Dorren. c1920s

The railway came to Huntsville in 1885 and the station 
opened in 1886. In 1892 it was known as the Grand Trunk
railway. In 1923 it became the Canadian National Railway.
The present station as shown in the postcard was built in 
1924. It was designated a heritage railway station by the
Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in 1993.

The CN/GTR "Inner Station" was a small single track station located on Ontario Street just down from
Kingston City Hall. Two doors down from the CP Station.
Both CN and CP ran parallel lines out towards Montreal
St, where the CN and CP lines crossed at a diamond, and then the CN line tied into the Outer Station. The CP line continued on, crossed the CN Toronto-Montreal
mainline and headed north to connect with the
CP Toronto-Montreal Mainline in Sharbot Lake
(later in Tichborne), about 40 miles to the north.
 

The Waterford station is on the Southern Ontario NYC line be between Detroit Michigan & Buffalo NY. I believe that the station was also used by the LE&N and the PM RR.
The PM for sure. The LE&N did stop at Waterford.
The station is located on the South side of the tracks.

Notable in the picture to the left is the green light 
over the information counter and further along in the 
corner, the station restaurant which I frequently
patronized, employing male waiters in spiffy white 
shirts, black bowties and starched vests.

In 1975, Parks Canada designated Union Station a
National Historic Site because it was, and still is the most 
opulent station in Canada. Mid-way up the north and south walls are carved the names of the cities that were then serviced by the CPR and the Canadian National Railways (CNR), the government-owned railway that replaced the Grand Trunk. 
The list alternates from side to side, naming the cities from 
east to west

It is the 3rd station on the site; constructed between
1914 and 1920 by the Toronto Terminals Railway, 
jointly owned by the Grand Trunk Railway (later
CNR) and the CPR who each held 50% of the TTR
shares and was officially opened to the public on 
August 6, 1927. In 1954, the lower part of Union Station became a Toronto Transit subway station and in 1967,
GO Transit began providing commuter service out of 
the station, in addition to Amtrak and VIA Rail.
The Ontario Northland  Northlander provided a
passenger train service between Union Station and Northeastern Ontario from 1976 until 2012. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Station_(Toronto)

This station has recently been moved to a new location
and is to be used as a 300-seat restaurant.
The move was completed this summer (2013)
CPR Station in Goderich finally set in new location

The CN train conductor then arranged a connection 
with the ACR dispatcher at Oba. After paying a fare 
to the ACR, Massey was given a cab ride in the 185, 
but only to Hawk Junction, about one hour south,
because ACR regulation prevent freight trains from
carry non-crew through the Agawa Canyon.

From there, Massey proceeded to Wawa,
the nearest town of any size, and boarded a 
Greyhound bus to the Soo.

Built in 1912 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, the
station served for decades as an important interchange 
yard and passenger connection to the Algoma Central. Located in Northern Ontario on the Sudbury-White
River (also on the transcontinental) mainline, Franz 
boasted a booming economy in forestry, transportation
and mining in better days but it has now virtually ceased 
to exist. The nearest important town to the south is 
Wawa, Ontario.

After being closed in 1991 the station was relocated to
the nearby community of Dubreuilville where it served
as a visitor information centre for the town. View it in
picture No 5 at: http://www.algomacountry.com/639/dubreuilville

The front of the station is at: http://algomacentral.railfan.net/images/Oldies/ocpr38.jpg 
or http://algomacentral.railfan.net/oldcpr.htm. There is 
also a night shot of the station and one of the old trackside water tank on the website. For those interested of what
is on the other side of the diamond:  http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=

Some superb coverage of the Franz station
(with a few period photos) can be found at: http://www.trainweb.org/franzswing/franz.htm

The only surviving Ontario station on the M&O is 
in Bourget. The station is now a private residence.
This picture was taken between 1977 and 1985

This picture was taken between 1977 and 1985

The downtown station was  demolished in 1963. CN had meanwhile moved all operations to their larger station at ALLANDALE, around Kempenfeldt Bay (of Lake 
Simcoe) about a mile short of the old station and 
renamed it "BARRIE".

Allandale station had opened around 1853 and after 
serving ancestors of the CN much like the old downtown station and continued as a CN, and then VIA,  transcontinental as well as Ontario Northland passenger 
stop for many years till demolished in the 1980s and 
replaced by a newer GO station today.

Massey remembers alighting from the CN Super 
Continental at Allandale at 2 am on a cold winter 
morning for advanced training at Camp Borden, some 
miles away and took this  picture the following spring
or summer.

Originally, it served passengers from Toronto, who then boarded either CPR Ships S.S. Keewatin or the S.S. Assiniboia, which took them on Lake Huron to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario where the ship  had a layover and train passengers had a choice of going into the US or proceed 
on Lake Superior to Fort William (now Thunder Bay), 
where they could catch a CPR train west. More 
reference is made about the ship voyage on another
one of my pages.

The station served a secondary purpose. In addition, 
there was a large yard and a roundhouse nearby, which housed railway equipment necessary to serve 4 other 
CPR ships  transporting grain on the Great Lakes from 
Ft William and a very large elevator at Port McNicoll 
and then by railcar to Toronto and Montreal

When the St.Lawrence Seaway opened, the Great Lakes grain transport by ship and train became redundant. 
CPR at this point also ended passenger ship service
and closed the station and eventually demolished it as
it was off the mainline, with no economic benefit, even 
in rail passenger service to Toronto.

The left shows the cover while the right photo is the 
map which the customer saw once the pamphlet was
opened. Other photos and text completed the handout, 
front and back.

One-way first class between Toronto and Port McNicoll 
was $5.00 ($4.20 coach class) and $9.00 return in
First Class ($8.00 coach). Between Fort William and Winnipeg, the "Faresaver" was $11.50 except Friday
and Sunday when it was $13.00; meals and berth
extra, if required.

Note the dancing and observation lounge at the rear
of the ship, as well as the dining saloon on the upper 
deck. The rooms were on the main deck. A
"De Luxe Room" was $64.00 between Port McNicoll 
and Fort William, while outside rooms were $25.00
and inside rooms $20.00 (meals and taxes extra) 
It didn't include the "port-to-port passage, which 
was (between Port McNicoll and Fort William) 
$30.80  one way and $55.45 return, meals and berth
extra and slightly lower for children. Cars were $30.00 between Port McNicoll and Ft William. Both ships 
had 3 decks: Main, Upper and Sun deck.

It was one of two passenger ships launched by the
Canadian Pacific Steamships in 1907 for Great Lakes 
service between Port McNicoll and Fort William, with a stopover in Sault Ste.Marie Ontario. From there, some passengers proceeded to Sault Ste.Marie Michigan,
while others continued to Fort William, many travelling
West by rail. A map of the Great Lakes trip is seen somewhere else on this page.

Canadian Pacific Railway Upper Lake Steamships 
ended service in 1965.  In 1967, when scrap and 
antique dealers were eying the Keewatin for scrap 
and old artifacts, the "Kee" was purchased by an
American concern and operated for 45 years as
museum ship at Douglas, Michigan http://www.sskeewatin.com/the-keewatin/ In 2011, 
she was re- purchased by a Canadian concern and
floated with great fanfare back to its former home 
at Port McNicoll, where it is now opened to the
public since 2012.

Plans have been made to redevelop the area and
incorporate a replica of the former CPR Port McNicoll station seen in these pages as an artifact. More at https://taytownshipheritage.wordpress.com/ss-
keewatin/

When this picture was taken in September 1976, 
Alliston still had an identity of its own but in 1991; 
it became integrated into the Town of New Tecumseth, 
which now incorporates the communities of Alliston, 
Beeton, Tottenham and Tecumseth. Following decommissioning, research indicated that the building 
was relocated just north of Tottenham to serve as a 
private residence.

For large contingents, as well as supplies and 
equipment (tanks, vehicles etc), CNR had a spur 
right into Camp Borden, as it was called until 1968, 
to move large contingents of men, supplies and 
equipment (tanks, vehicles, etc) in and out of the
military base as needed in the steam days. CPR 
from Allison also used the spur occasionally.

The spur was taken up late in the 1990s, after being
idle for several years. View a photo of a CPR troop
train inside the Camp Borden as well as some 
history at  http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/CPR_
Bruce/PSGR.htm.

Designed with Renaissance features and constructed of 
pressed brick and Bedford stone, the "Union Station"
was built to serve as joint quarters for the Canadian
Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) and the Grand Trunk Pacific 
Railway (G.T.P.R.), and functioned as the administrative 
centre for the vast grain handling facilities of the Lakehead. 
The notable architectural features of the building include 
an arched entrance with an elaborate transom light.
The Station also has projecting end bays with pilasters
topped with decorative elements. The decorated piers all
complement the symmetrical design of the building.

CNR station at Thunder Bay ON was built for the Canadian Northern Rwy. c.1905.
It later became the CNR's station when the Canadian Northern was taken over by the Canadian National.
