We venture outdoors once again to trace the railway grade from just outside of the village of Rosslyn west to Stanley, Ontario. In this area the modern roadway known as Harstone Drive is built directly upon the old right of way, so we get a nice first person perspective of what it would have been like to travel this stretch. We pause to investigate an old ballast pit spur, then enjoy the beautiful views alongside the Kaministiquia River before stopping in Stanley for a walkabout at this once important railway station. Enjoy!
