Now and then photos featuring Longlac Junction, Ontario. The first photos, courtesy of Don Loponen, were taken in the 1940s. On the left/north side sits the Canadian National Railways Caramat Subdivision, which forms part of the mainline across Canada. To the right/south side of the station, sits the Kinghorn Subdivision, which formed part of the original Canadian Northern Railway mainline. This portion of the Caramat Subdivision was opened for traffic in 1924 and was known as the “Nakina Cutoff.” This line linked the former Canadian Northern line at Longlac to the National Transcontinental line at Nakina, which shortened the transit between Toronto and Winnipeg by 100 miles.
The third photo, taken in the 1940s or 1950s, shows the station in more detail. The station at Longlac was originally located almost 1 mile to the east but was moved to this spot when the cutoff was constructed.
The last photo was taken by drone in August of 2022 looks west from the junction. The mainline Caramat Subdivision can be seen on the right while what remains of the Kinghorn Subdivision is on the left. None of the buildings remain at the site, while the Kinghorn was discontinued in 2005 and only 1.7 miles of track remains in place.
Video of the former Canadian Northern Railway/CN-Kinghorn Subdivision (MP 0) at Longlac, ON. Features one of the remaining sections of the line and an explanation of how the “Nakina Cutoff” changed the rail history of the area. Drone footage shows both current CN mainline, the Caramat Subdivision and the Kinghorn. This area was known as “Longlac Junction” from 1924 to 2005.

Hi everyone! My name is Luna and I’m a very active and curious Labradoodle. I love to follow my dad on his history exploration adventures, so he decided to put a camera on me to record what I see while we’re hiking. It’s in its armoured housing, so the audio is muffled, the harness doesn’t always stay in the right spot and the GoPro can’t always compensate for my movements, so there are no awards for sound and cinematography here (seriously, it’s very shaky at times). It’s just raw, minimally edited video.
This episode took us to one of my dad’s favourite spots, Orient Bay, Ontario. We actually filmed Episode I (https://youtu.be/0XhbXTwkUd8) just to the north of this area back in May. This adventure was a little different than our usual explorations since we were not biking, but rather walking and there to do some drone flying; the views of Orient Bay and the cliffs of the Pijitawabik Palisades are amazing! It was a warm day, so I even went for a little swim.
Enjoy!
