On the morning of Tuesday, August 31st, 1965, after westbound freight 401 passed, crews went to work to erase the old wood frame CN Pembroke Ontario station from the planet. The west wall of the building was the first to go.  This photograph shows one of the first blows being administered. As the entire structure was deemed as scrap, no effort was made to save anything. The process took only about a hour. Location is approximate.

  1. Very sad indeed. Doesn’t take them long to demolish historical structures! :(

  2. Ouch. It hurts to look at this.
