Here are some photos of more stations on the Carleton Railway:
The old station in Deerville was once a busy stop, but only the local train stops here now. The freight yard tracks have all been removed and what remains of the station track is used to store MOW equipment.
The station in Waterville is surrounded by the industries that make this rural community an important source of revenue for the railway.
The old station in Wakefield is not very busy--other nearby stations now handle most of the work. Only the daily passenger local still stops here.
This view of the old station in South Newbridge shows how busy it can be when one of the limited passenger trains is due!
A very busy freight agent works at the depot in Northampton (built by Bob Boudreau). The local industries here in Northampton and in nearby Grafton provide a lot of freight traffic for the Carleton Railway. Northampton is located at the end of a branch line that joins with the Avondale Subdivision at South Newbridge.
Here is another shot of the little station in Bull Lake. Although trains don't even slow down here during most of the year, it is well maintained for those summer vacationers who travel by train to cool off during the hottest days of summer.
The large Union Station has just been relocated to its new spot alongside the large yard in Millville. It serves passengers for both the Carleton Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway (Gibson subdivision). More details and scenery will be added soon.
