Caption: In 1981, there was still plenty of branchline character along the CP Princeton Sub. The Princeton wayfreight is arriving at Merritt with just a van behind still high nosed GP9 8617. The train order board is a study in simplicity, and the station is about as basic as they got. Unfortunately, a few short years later, it would all be gone.

Perfect scene. Pity such a nice old building would be deemed expendable. It is a classic.
Steve: Did you also shoot the classic little freight shed behind the depot? It
was also a rare find back then.
