Throwback Thursday - CN North Bay

 

The CN North Bay station was photographed on August 29, 1990.
By Peter Mumby.  

First opened in 1916 by the Canadian Northern Railway, the North Bay railway station served passengers until 1990.  From 1921 until 1990 it served as a Union Station along with the Ontario Northland (originally Temiskaming and Northern Ontario) Railway.  In 1986 ownership of the facility was transferred to Via Rail, but the cancellation of all Via service through North Bay in 1990 made this a short term arrangement.  By the mid 1990s CN had ceased all freight activity on this line and the trackage was subsequently removed.  The structure still stands today as a heritage station.
