Picture No. 13. Engine No. 824 seen here in the Chapleau Station in 1906 was built by the C.P.R. in 1903. The headlight was a carbon arc lamp while the marker lights were kerosene. This track was then the main line but is now the third track from the present station, known now as the steam or runaround track.
Mr. Crichton wrote in the 1960s that the station as shown here consisted of two buildings. They were the station proper for operators, staff etc. and a smaller building with the waiting and baggage rooms. These two buildings were later moved to lots on Monk Street. The buildings where purchased, and moved to their present sites and then remodelled into dwellings by G.B. Nicholson. The old station proper was later owned by Walter Steeds and was his residence at 37 Monk Street. The baggage and waiting room were later the residence of Arthur Whybray and Adam Andrews at 33 and 35 Monk Street.
Ian Macdonald tells us more about the station buildings. Read about that here
