The Canadian Northern Railway Station is a one and one-half storey building situated on one lot on Railway Drive in the Town of Smoky Lake. The site is adjacent to the abandoned railway right-of-way that now serves as a portion of the Iron Horse Trail, a regional recreational corridor. The building is a Standard Third Class station constructed in 1919 according to Plan 100-72. It features a white stucco exterior with green trim, a hipped roof over the main station area, two gabled wall dormers on the front and back elevations, and a low-pitched gable roof over the baggage area. A wide eave with large brackets extends along the platform.(source:historicplaces.ca) Photo was taken on a day when forest fires in Alberta caused the smoky skies.

Not long after its construction, the depot would be expanded to handle growing business. This depot served both the Canadian Northern and Canadian National Railways until 1989. It has now been preserved as a Provincial Historic Resource and community centre by the Canadian Northern Society.
