Canadian National 0-6-0 7435 switches at Kitchener in front of the station in 1958, with one of the crew riding the front pilot as another looks back on their train. Baggage carts for servicing passenger trains are posed by the station under the awning. The Krug Furniture Company building, still standing today, is visible in the background along with its water tower.

    Awesome photo. It’s amazing how much still looks the same here today, minus the steam engines and fresh paint on the Krug building that is :)

    This is very nice. Not much has changed here….. yet…

    Funny enough I have a Krug desk in my possession – built in 1988 with leather inlay – very sturdy product and they still make furniture on-site today.

    Eventually though it will become condos.. just a matter of time
