  1. I like this shot Mr. Mooney; is that station building still standing? It is a good example of what was built in the 1950′s.

  2. As of 2010 both buildings captured here were still standing. The one in question still has the “Chapleau” lettering on it too!

  3. Excellent scene in this photo, but it looks like your train is actually 186, eastbound towards Sudbury, just having traversed the White River Sub and about to enter the Nemegos. For comparison’s sake I’ve just uploaded a photo from the same location in 2013.

  4. VERY observant, Mr. Vincent!!! You are indeed correct and I deserve a whipping with an exposed film strip. I had it all backward. I knew it was Sudbury-bound, but for some reason was reading my old TT backward.

  5. Mr. Mooney, great picture, and nice to see Northern Ontario rail activity. Were you travelling on this train, hopping off for a quick shot during the passenger stop ? Have yet to travel on the White River RDC run, but was through here on the Dominion, the CPR Canadian and the VIA variety (before VIA switched to CN through Northern Ontario ). Thanks for sharing.

  6. Glad you like this one.
    No, I did not ride it on this particular trip but was rather wandering the North hoping to see something on a whim.
    Carefree wandering trips are often the best, even if I do not see as much as when ‘planned’.
