Paul, this station really looks much more like a factory than a passenger train station, but it does look neat and clean, and love the red station sign with white lettering – it’s certainly not in VIA colours ! Is it owned by VIA ? I doubt it would be owned by a preservation group. Thanks for posting, John
Good morning John.
I believe it is a VIA Rail owned building.
The station was declared a heritage railway station by the federal government in 1996.
It is equipped with a ticket counter, and waiting room.
The station was built by CN in 1964 in the International Style, as part of the Chappell rail yards. It was considered a union station replacing the Old Canadian Pacific Saskatoon Railway Station.
Looks like a small school building to me.
Midcentury modern or not, this thing is depressing.
