Comments on: Early on Tuesday morning, August 31, 1965, CN train 401 lead by GP9 4454, RS-10 3086, and RS-18 38xx becomes the last train to pass the old wood frame Pembroke, Ontario station. The station is visible behind the CN Express truck. The operator, hooping up the orders to the engineer, moved into the new station the day prior. Work still continues on the platform. Within one hour of the train’s passing, the old station was bulldozed into a pile of rubble. Location listed is a best guess on my part.

Thanks Peter! At the time, I was in high school and working for CN’s Engineering Dept. in Capreol for the summer. I don’t recall meeting Del and think I was the only one to take any photos of the station being bulldozed. This was my only visit to Pembroke. My other photos need a lot of work before they can be posted, but I am working on them.

I’ve been enjoying your uploads of these older images. Very rare to see anything from Pembroke. Perhaps you ran into Del Rosamond… these were his stomping grounds! Thanks for sharing, Sir!
