Comments on: This rather nice building used to sit at the junction of the ONR Devonshire Sub and Ramore Subs. The line into Timmins was many years ago cut back and now only reaches Kidd Mines, and I suspect that had something to do with the importance of the Junction station. Returning in later years, I was shocked to see that it was no longer. Anyone know what happened? Seems to be too nice a building to demolish, especially seeing the condition of some occupied homes in the area. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The sad thing is; the place was the best looking building in town. That an accurate guess as to the demise of the building.

Was browsing your photos, and surprised no one has commented here yet. Did a little researching on the old web, and according to AI / Google, due to inconsistent levels of traffic, and with the Municipality's ultimate financial decision they decided to remove the 'junction' station. I assume this was torn down mid 90s, when the rails were lifted out of downtown Timmins. Too bad too....seems as mentioned, well built sturdy brick structure. Sad it couldn't be repurposed, but same story applies back then as it does today...due to costs. Hey Arnold. Was browsing your photos, and surprised no one has commented here yet.
