Feature Friday March 18, 2022

Several photos of the construction of the Canadian National Railways spur line to the paper mill in Red Rock, ON circa 1937. At the time, the Canadian Pacific spur was located a short distance away, on the west side of the Red Rock Station.

The third photo shows CNR executives standing in front of the original Red Rock Station, apparently in the area to inspect the construction of the spur.
