Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: Nothing glamorous about the backside. Thats the first thing that comes to mind looking at an image of the old CN Wingham station from the rear. At the time of the photo, this structure was occupied by Harkema Express, a trucking outfit. Tracks ran on both sides of the building back in the day. Passenger service ended in 1973 and the line abandoned in 1991. Currently the old station has been restored and in use. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Geez….I was nearly 4 months old when you snapped this! Hard to believe, though, that CN no longer occupied this building already. Great photo, even if from the rear.

Also – of note, I believe these back tracks shown were to interchange with the CP, that also came into Wingham…or in later years, rerouted to also end here (CP – sorry, can’t remember exactly as I;m going from my mental notes! Hoping another member can shed some light on this too).
