Just one of those days; stopped in at Wawa's ACR station as I knew it would be pulled down within a few years and I had not that many opportunities to photograph it.....and in comes a train from 'the harbour'....AC 167 and 169 for power. Waited a bit, but he wasn't going anywhere. Anyway, this station is long gone, so is the track, so is the power, and so is the whole subdivision. So this image turns out to be all history in itself.

    Awesome! I’ve been working on a model of this structure, but photos, especially in colour are hard to find.

    Fortunately the Sault Public Library Archives actually has the original blueprints!
