| This is the CN Operator’s office at Komoka as it appeared on July 02, 1989. |
Today we will take a look at the CN Operator’s office at Komoka Junction. This photo was exposed in the early evening looking towards the south east. The trackage in the foreground is a portion of the junction switch between the double track Strathroy Subdivision which heads west towards Sarnia and the Chatham Subdivision which branches off towards Windsor. The track in the background is a siding which connects with both the Chatham Sub and the south track of the Strathroy Sub. The office is actually a trailer - the trailer tongue can be seen just in front of the parked automobile. At the lower left of the photo can be seen the trackside platform used by the operator when he or she is passing orders up to head end and tail end train crews. Today, of course, the junction is fully automated, so this office has been relegated to the history books (or at least the blog posts!)
