Caption: WILD TIMES IN BRECHIN! Upon my last visit, the former CP station hues a Wild Wings restaurant. Heavily altered, you can still make out where the right of way was. Also note the two boxcars, one being that of the CN...probably serving as refrigerators for all those wings. You can also make out the bay window, where the station agent's office would have been.
Anyone know what subdivision this would have been for the Canadian Pacific? Also, rumour has it that the former CN Brechin East station still exists as a residence in the town. Any information would be helpful.

Port McNicoll Sub, built under the Georgian Bay & Seaboard charter, and at one time a very busy grain line. The section through Brechin was abandoned in 1937 iirc.
Altered, yes, but still so very obviously a depot.
Interesting article by Gerhard Wetzel about the Port McNicholl sub here: http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/844/54520/december-1986-page-22
I guess it was abandoned beyond the Uhtoff Quarry. This depot would be just off CN Bala sub no?
@ awmooney and Mike Lockwood…eother of you know if the CN station still exists? It was a brick structure…if that helps?
Orilla to Lindsay was abandoned around 1930.
