Beautifully restored building. This is where you go to catch the steam train (when running) to the McLean's Mill (a National Historical Site) with a fully functional sawmill. Sometimes in the summer you can see the "James Gang" in action, this is a local group of loggers who show how it was done in the past. But I digress, fun facts about the train station: I was one of the volunteers who helped restore the station to its former glory. After rail had faded from a dominant role the station was used by a freight company (Johnston Terminals?) for quite a while. They try to run trains for Halloween (Hogwarts Express), Christmas (Santa Express) and I've even heard of a wedding using it. Most of the people associated with this are volunteering their time.

We have enjoyed it a lot.

We rode the train up to the logging camp. Along the way they had a staged train robbery with cowboys and cowgirls on horseback raiding the train. Brilliant fun.

We had a fun ride on the train to the old McLean Sawmill. The co-ordinates for a GPS or map program are: 49.23506 N, 124.81189 W (Decimal), --or-- 49° 14' 6.22" N 124° 48' 42.8" W (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds )

We had a very enjoyable train ride up to a logging camp. A great outing with children
