    Definitely Colborne St., heading northbound by the old station and the CP interchange.

    What’s sad…..this is all overgrowth now. No trains on this portion (between CN interchange north…all the way to well, somewhere south of Sarnia). Station demolished. Still some bricks remain from the old platform. But the memories and photos live on.

    Thanks for sharing as I currently live in Chatham now…nice to see these old photos and the history preserved in them.
