Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: Well, now that the Ingersoll CN station managed to hang on 40 years after closing, and we all watched it piece by piece succumb to the elements; a picture of it in somewhat better days is warranted. (It had been close about 2 1/2 years when I shot this) The old station gave us its last ‘sigh’ this month, as it was demolished and put out of its misery for good. It is a shame that a station once part of the Grand Trunk system (built in 1880s) had been allowed to die this way. RIP. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

It’s unfortunate for sure, but on the bright side. There are still several ex GT stations in the area that are still in active use!
