Went on a road trip Friday to find some abandoned places east of Toronto. This is one of the original train stations back from 1855. It was a major stop on the original Grand Trunk Railway. Im trying to find what happened to the other 9 surviving of the 34 that used to once be in use back in the late 1800s.

I found an opening in the back. Somebody had broken off one of the boards, and even tho there were many pieces of broken glass around the window, I managed to get my arse in there, but could only manouver into one room. They had it boarded off pretty tight inside.
This is just a handheld shot of the old lockers.

As I was leaving I heard the sound of a train horn in the distance and waited for a bit, but it must have been on another line. I shot this sitting on the tracks.
