Comments on: This little community near the Saskatchewan border calls itself “the jewel of the parkland” and indeed it is a nice town. Roblin offers lower costs of living, less daily hassle, and plenty of outdoor activities and events. It also has an attractive old train station. This structure was built in 1906. It no longer serves as an active station, but the VIA Winnipeg-Churchill train passes thru here and stops (flag stop) on demand. The former Canadian Northern building was recognized as historic in 1991 and for a time served as a restaurant. I’m unsure if it is still operating as such.

Here’s a little info on the Roblin, MB station from The Manitoba Historical Society.

Now this…this is a fine example of repurposing stations….even looks like a house!
