Conmee Junction

Kakabeka Falls Conmee Junction Atikokan Matawin River Bridge

Conmee Junction was located at Milepost 35.7 of the Canadian National Railways (CNR) Kashabowie Subdivision from 1924 to 1994.

With the creation of CNR in late 1918, it was decided to rationalize some of the former Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific/Canadian Government Railways lines in the Thunder Bay area. The eastern 26 miles of the GTP/CGR line would be abandoned and a new bridge would be constructed across the Matawin River to join the remaining trackage of the CGR line, now known as the CNR Graham Subdivision. To handle the traffic, the Kashabowie Subdivision would be double tracked from Neebing Station to where the lines would split, christened Conmee Junction. Conmee replaced a previous station known as Rowan.

In 1994, the Graham Subdivision was abandoned by CN and Conmee Junction ceased to have any purpose. The double track between the station and Thunder Bay was reduced back to a single track.
