Pulling back the throttle at bit extra for the photographer. Quite an interesting array of signals at this location. The signals are still looking good, although I suspect they may have been deactivated at this time.
I wonder if that was the case. He didn’t have to take off like he was competing in the Derby.
As far as signals go; interesting comment; next time up there will check on changes. I just know the office slash station has been demolished.
I was there last summer, the signal bridge is for sure gone. I believe the others are gone also.
They were in the process of building a platform for a new “station” which will effectively be a bus shelter.
Thanks, Jazzy: At least they have begun to build something…..anything..
Ahhhh, for the good old days ! Very nice indeed Mr. Mooney. Maybe next summer you will be able to take a “comparison” picture of the “new ONR Northlander”, but the today’s version will be in the dark according to the ONR proposed timetable, and the square station building won’t be there, but at least there will be a platform with a GO Transit-style glass/plastic waiting shelter. All the new platforms with waiting shelters were to have been completed by spring 2026, but AECON (the government of Ontario’s favourite contractor, a buddy-buddy of Ford) is dragging its rear end, just starting the work in Washago as an example of delayed work, and nothing has started in Gravenhurst. But this nothing new with AECON, just look at the various Metrolinx transit projects they are, and have been part of – all running late. Thanks for posting, John
Great shot!
