Arnold, this was in my summertime “back yard”, having spent many summer vacations down the road in a small lakeside community called Eastbourne which had its own T&YRR waiting shed & stop. THIS CNR station was at the end of Station St, one block west of Dalton Rd & High St. There was the odd box car of lumber delivered in the late ‘50’s/early ‘60’s, and CN Express shipments (by truck) could be claimed/sent from the station. Although there were many summertime visits, never saw a train in Sutton. Thanks for sharing, John
Oh my….another gem Arnold. My only visit was with my good friend, Dave Savage. Sadly he passed a couple of years ago….BUT, it triggered the memory of our station hunting trip from December 2005. We shot the old radial railway (T&YRR) station, still standing although for sale at the time. By the time we got to the museum to shoot the former CN station….dark storm clouds loomed. I’ll have to see if I still have a decent photo to post here in its quiet retirement.
One of these days, John; I could post a shot from somewhere you haven’t been…but if I do it will be surely a miracle.

Todd: A lot of former stations out there I have yet to see. A good excuse for a drive to anywhere.
While in my last job, I attended a week of meetings at the Briars Resort in Jackson’s Point and went back at a later date and I sem to remember some sort of business in what was either the Station or a replica with some sort of Passenger car next to it. Thanks for sharing the great photo.
You’re welcome, Robin. I’m glad some like this.
