Comments on: Here is a view of the old CN crew hostel in Fort Erie, which was located on the south side of the tracks near the Central Av bridge. Closed up and slated for demolition. It is a shame a place like this could not be repurposed.

Great photo Arnold. At first glance I thought it was at Brent, ON. But when I saw the location at Fort Erie I remembered a comment by you or another contributor on a different photo shot at Fort Erie….where it was pointed out that this is where the crew hostel once stood. Too bad. Most of Fort Eries rail structures met the wrecking ball. Except the small ‘B-1′ building, now at the Railway Museum with 6218.
