Caption: The station at Washago - another one of those small community stations that has stood the test and change of times. To note...from four tracks down to one, the station is still used by crews only. VIA built a shelter of it's own sometime in the 90's, maybe earlier. And of course, the CTC signals. I'm sure these have been replaced by the more popular modern style. The old 'bridge' that housed the signals for all four tracks was still standing from my visit in 2008 (although quite rusty). And of the former roadbeds, some of it was filled in for an even walking surface for those boarding or disembarking the train at Washago...and the rest was taken over by weeds (as seen in the foreground, shadowing the Bala Sub.).

The old style signals are still there, Todd… For now…
