    Good ol’ CP Canadian. Hmm, is that a CN-VIA Tempo car behind the power?!

    I’m wondering if the late Art Merrifield was the agent there at that time. Any idea if the station was demolished, or was it moved to become a residence?

    The station is now in Tottenham, Ont. just east of the tracks as a residence.
