ONTARIO NORTHLAND TRAIN #113 ROLLS THROUGH THE TOWN HEADED NORTH - TEMAGAMI, ONTARIO - MAY 24, 1980
Turning around, we see the previously posted train heading into the town, which is a classic small town, old school railroading scene. Along the road, we see everything you needed for railfanning back then, including gas, a beer store, grill, motel, and the station (high black roof). Just before the station, there is a section house with MofW speeders that have just pulled in to clear up for train traffic.
In the very nice looking station there was still a operator that provided train info. And to a young punk as myself, best of all, the operator here (and some other ONR locations) wasn't just friendly, she was also drop dead gorgeous! One also has to love the loads of Appalachian real estate heading somewhere into the northern woodlands.
