Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: Once upon a time situated along the road of the same name, the little Dagmar station actually did see some passengers and the flag-stop especially became active tending to the needs of skiers that often made the trip to the Dagmar Ski Resort by train. Years ago, CP ran weekend Ski Trains to this location. By the time I got to visiting here, there were but one or two morning commuters that caught the Toronto-bound Budd cars out of Havelock. The 1920-era building still exists, but now part of a private residence, moved to the hamlet of Dagmar itself. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

What in the heck were you doing way up the back country in February? Did you manage a shot of a train that day or was it just exploring?

Just out for a drive on a day off. Driving around north Toronto back then was like a walk in the park. The Hwy 404 was a two lane country road. Locust Hill sta still took passengers, as did Claremont, or Myrtle, or Pontypool, those last two modular stations. It was a fun drive back then but little railroad traffic as the passenger was into Toronto early with the commuters……

Great shot. I seemto be capturing more and more in ‘retirement’ these days. My photo is: http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/CPDagmar-200×150.jpg

Happily situated not far from it’s original location. In 2005 when I took this photo, it was a woodshed….still in decent condition.

Thanks for putting this image to us, Todd. Very interesting. I do wonder what happened to the original namesign. ) Perhaps the owners brought it indoors?
