Comments on: An image of Sundridge CN station, already decommissioned as of 45 years ago and it was not around much longer. The railroad first went thru here in 1885 and the village of Sundridge was incorporated in 1889. I do not know when the station was built, nor the year of its’ demise. I think it came down in the late 1970s. Anyone ?? http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The red crossing lenses have been replaced with a green lens and a white lens for each direction. When activated the flashing green and white light will be used to stop a train at the "Flag Station" which is indicated on the timetable schedule or in timetable special instructions. Passengers wishing to entain would activate the light in advance of the trains schedule time using the switch on the side of the signal box mounted to the left of the Train Schedule Board on the station wall. Flag Stops reduced unnecessary stopping of trains due to declining or infrequent passenger numbers. Some Flag Stop stations utilized a green and white flag in lieu of a flashing light.
