Comments on: Ah….Summer North of Superior…..when track occupancies ( blocks ) limit daylight train operations….where any operating train is a celebration….August 30 1984, Mile 63.0 Heron Bay Subdivision the former CP Rail Marathon Ontario station remains occupied as a residence as end of train device #434455 ably handles the tail end duties for CP Rail 6003 East. Note the CP Rail COFC ahead of the caboose. Kodachrome by S. Danko. More Northern Ontario: exceptional Centre of the Community rare sight

Station was an occupied living space. No operator though. Perhaps by a CP maintenance employee.

Old… looks like 1940′s era, similar to Owen Sound…

Nice. Not many pics out there of the old Marathon station with a train. Wish it was still there.

I would assume the operator lived out of the station then, Steve? Nice scene.
