Caption: The restored Grand Trunk station in Caledonia. This station was built around 1915, and was in danger of being demolished 80 years later. The owner of Clark Agriculture came forward and bought the station and the land for $1.00 from CN. Volunteers donated their time and started restoring the interior (I had the privilege of repainting the name signs), local businesses chipped in their supplies, and eventually the insul-brick was torn off of the exterior and restored to wha it would have looked like in it's Grand Trunk days.
While restoration continued, the old mill that stood across the station caught fire one night and burned to the ground. Thankfully all embers were extinguished, and only heavy smoke blew towards the station's direction.
Today, the station houses a small museum (including the original signal) and the Chamber of Commerce. For a photo by rp.ca user John Eull - which shows the station in railway use (note the insul-brick exterior) and the signal pole still standing - although the signal was removed, click here: http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/CN453718March1978387.jpg
