The 1965 Across Canada CN map (a big fold out map, the front of the map shows the 6516 with Mount Robson in the background) has Punnichy shown on it. I have another CN map from 1966/67, it is in the same style as the Across Canada, but Punnichy is no longer shown. Just for fun, I checked through some of my older maps.

This elevator hasnt been loading railcars in years. The back track there is only used for engineering equipment and B/O set offs.

Certainly an unusual photograph. Hope it was a good trip, even though slow at times. :o) Sad looking old structure, but great that it is active. Certainly an unusual photograph.
