After a fire destroyed the Orangeville Bunkhouse according to those in the know (Mr. Bradley et al) insurance settlement allowed the town to re-build a new structure in Orangeville. So they built a sorta replica of the Orangeville Station on the station site, complete with a witch hat. The actual CPR station still survives and was moved off property to become a restaurant, but for about a decade this replica building was alive with rail service - complete with a waiting room and washrooms for Credit Valley Explorer patrons. What a great station and a shame the town decided enough with railways. Alas, it is still a nice looking station just no rails at present time, and now used as  a GO bus station. Pictured 12 years ago is the "Snow Train" with a briefly loaned brand new Eco on the point pulling into the station after completing the last run of the weekend. This would be last passenger train until that spring.

  1. Fantastic winter scene in what once was a busy divisional railway town!
