What would have been the trackside of the former CNR Wiarton station. The station was built by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1904 as a "proper station" to replace the original depot opened in 1882. The station is located in Bluewater Park on the shore of Colpoy's Bay and houses the Wiarton Information Centre, there are many railway artifacts inside. The last passenger train departed the station in October 1957 and the station closed in 1961. The station was moved from its original location at the corner of Claude St. and George St. (44.742041, -81.138972) in 1971. The pavilion was added in 2004. A well restored and maintained structure.

    They must have finished the roads. I was there in 2021 and my cousin advised to stay out of town. We did go Cape Crocker and some of the construction in town. Bruce
