Paul, very nice picture of this National Transcontinental Railway treasure, presumably built in the very early 1900’s. It looks very well maintained, am wondering who is doing that, doubt that it would be VIA Rail. I love the train ride from Capreol to Winnipeg and back, looking at all the reminders of NTR and CNoR. Thanks for sharing, John
Good morning John.
According to VIA’s website, the station is closed and waiting passengers can use a heated trailer, and must bring their own luggage to the baggage car!

Good morning John.
On March 10, 1994, the station building at Sioux Lookout was designated a heritage building under the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act.

Built in 1911, it is located at 53 Front Street in Sioux Lookout, ON. – Paul
Of course the station is closed :/
Canadians have no pride in their history and care not for its infrastructure outside of their immediate carnal needs.
In another generation, there won’t even be any Canadians left demographically speaking… and Canada will be nothing more than an economic zone where immigrants chase money and material goods.
Great capture Paul! What a massive Canadian! I stopped here back in January of 2018 and caught a similar view but from trackside. – Ken
Thanks Ken. Here is another street side view looking west.
