Here at last is the Ainsworth depot on the Grand Trunk Railroad, circa 1910. The person who gave me this photo told me that after this building was demolished, the railroad still maintained a shed in its place, where tools and such were stored. Nothing of either building remains, except possibly the foundation of that signal tower in front of the station — you can still find a concrete block out there by the tracks, with a bit of rusty metal pipe embedded in it.

That's a nice station, more impressive than I thought it would be.

Now I can update my Grand Trunk Western Historical Images map with the most important station of all!
