Beauty photo. Brings back my first memories of rolling through Jarvis on a family shopping trip to Simcoe, and seeing the station for the first time …. never knowing prior to that trip that it existed!
Very nice photo. My Dad was the CN Roadmaster in Jarvis from 1969 to 1985. His office was in the former waiting room area of the station (behind the windows under the CN Jarvis sign). When we moved to Jarvis in 1969 there was an Operator position at the Jarvis station, but when the Hagersville Sub. was rerouted to cross highway 6 north of the hamlet of Garnet and connect with the Nanticoke Spur via a new railway crossing at grade with the Cayuga Sub. at CN Garnet, the operator was relocated there. At that same time the section foreman and his crew moved into the operator’s area and used it as an office and lunchroom until their positions were abolished and the Cayuga Sub. was abandoned. The signal maintainer worked out of the shanty immediately east of the station. I started my CN career as a section man at Jarvis in October of 1971 before transferring to the Work Equipment department at Danforth Shops in Toronto, ON in the spring of 1972. My Mom had a weekly contract with CN to clean the lunchroom and offices in the station until 1985. Lots of work and personal memories for me in this shot! ????
