Superior Junction

Alcona Station Superior Junction Graham/Sioux Lookout Station

Superior Junction was located near Sioux Lookout, ON at Milepost 188.8/130.9/189.4/159.5.

Situated on the south bank of the Marchington River, Superior Junction was where the Lake Superior Branch joined the National Transcontinental Railway. Since it was completed well before the NTR, particularly the portion east of Graham/Sioux Lookout, Superior Junction was the terminus of the line for many years. As such, it was home to a coal tower, water tank and wye. Once Graham became established as the divisional point in the area, the coal and water facilities were shifted there. However, Superior Junction retained its wye until 1930. There is no indication of what type of station if any was located there, but timetables indicate that there was a telegraph office that was manned 24 hours a day.

Superior Junction remained a station on the line until it was abandoned in 1994.
