Beautiful downtown Oba, ON Another view of the CN Oba, ON station from early July 1976. The platform and surrounding grounds are littered with common place items (at the time) seen at stations throughout the north. 45-gallon drums of gasoline, propane tanks and oil (kerosene) drums for the station agent and work crews in the yard. A freshly painted baggage cart rests in front of the station waiting on its next load of arriving or departing cargo. Lots of antennas on the roof for tv and radio communications.

    Thanks Todd. It’s hard to believe it is almost 50 years ago I snapped those pics.
