Feature Friday January 18 , 2024

Feature Friday

Then and now photos of Warneford Station southwest of the community of Beardmore, ON. Located in a fairly remote area, little has changed here in over 100 years. The first photo was taken not long after the line opened in 1915, likely in 1916, for an Ontario Bureau of Mines report on the Longuelac-Jellicoe-Orient Bay area.

The second photo was taken in October 2023 and shows the same spot with the rock cut, minus the rails, which were removed in 2010. Warneford was originally called Blackwater after the nearby river. It was located at Milepost 25.6 of the Canadian Northern Railway Nipigon Subdivision/Canadian National Railways Dorion Subdivision and later Milepost 75.3 of the Canadian National Railway Kinghorn Subdivision.
