Heritage Information

The station is a designated Heritage Railway Station, so protected since 1994. The station was built by the Canadian National Railways in 1947. The imposing, two-storey structure was built according to a 1920s plan "for Québec stations, in which the upper floor accommodates the administrative functions of a divisional point station, in addition to the station agent’s residence." The current station was built to replace a former building, destroyed by fire. [2]

gollark: I mean, one of the "wisdom of the ages"es of Western societies is to question past traditions and old ideas.
gollark: People complaining about it doesn't mean it's true either, I doubt they actually *measured* it.
gollark: They may also not have been very good ideas in the time when they "evolved", and just stuck around through luck or being tied to better ones.
gollark: Also, things being a good idea in very different societies of the past doesn't make them sensible in the different environments of today. They *might* be, but it isn't guaranteed.
