Rumbles of Excitement / À Fond de Train

Built in 1910 by Canadian Pacific Railway, this station served thriving tourist traffic and became a hub for locals and visitors, filled with joyful arrivals, tearful departures, and constant movement of trains and telegrams. It is one of the few remaining log railway stations in Canada, with heritage features including original leaded glass windows and a three-hearth fireplace, as well as gardens and historic railcars. James Stanley Boyle, known as Stan, worked here as station agent for more than 30 years, running the station safely and efficiently, tending the gardens, and excelling as a telegrapher while also teaching local children to ski.
