Caption: The old Alliston station as it looked in spring of 1976. Track car stopped out front. I am wondering if the station agent at this time was one Art Merrifield, a rather likeable and entertaining character in railroad photography circles in his day.
The station, built in 1908 was later purchased and moved to County Rd 10, north of Tottenham, and lived in as a fully restored residence by noted railroad photographer James A. Brown. Unfortunately, Jim passed away in 2020 and the property I understand is now up for sale.

A great image Mr. Mooney. Jim has certainly left his mark on me and many fellow railfan/photographers throughout the continent. May he Rest in Peace.
Yes, Ken. He was an incredible rail photographer and a top-notch historian. Very sad to lose him.
