This rather delightful old station still sees service as a town museum as well as an "upon request" VIA stop. It was built in 1881 for the Intercolonial Railway. Most interesting as well I learned just before posting this shot that the station very narrowly escaped destruction about 10 years ago when a rather extensive CN freight train wreck occurred here.

    How quaint. That was not the only wreck near the station, the other being on the bridge just to the east on July 6, 1943 when CN 6167 struck CN 6166.
