Caption: Last month and to my surprise, I found the Jarvis station on the move. When I was browsing through my collection, this photo brought me back to when I was a youngster. Typical CN fashion in the later years when they're stations needed maintenance...plain dull colours. Jarvis was painted in the dull grey, with blue and orange doors...plain and simple in design replacing the original wooden doors that seemed to be more fashionable in design.
For those who have read my bio, it is this style that I still hold dearly to me...as plain as it is, it was still surprisingly appealing to me.
Thankfully, the building was repainted when Michaud Fine Woodworking had owned the station. This design was more typically found on the CN's stations from the 50's...usually reversed with the red as the main colour on the building with cream trimmed windows. You can view the station at it's first stage of moving here: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=23995#sthash.y2bCDtOD.dpuf
Of note...the tracks and station aren't the only thing that have or will be disappearing...in the background, to the left, is the old railway hotel which burned down a short time after this photo was taken.
