Parry Sound Train Station

 Parry Sound station still in use as a station and as an art gallery

Yesterday my husband and I were in Parry Sound and stopped by to check out the art gallery inside the train station...but it was closed.

 Seating between the station and the fence and tracks

Have a seat but...


be sure to  read the sign!

 Looking southerly along the tracks

No trains coming...but wait!

Canadian National heading northerly

That was close!

    Very pretty and cute train station! But I guess trains don’t stop there. Love the track curve through the fall colors/trees

    The train is a little too close for comfort? Love the idea of art in a train station. Stations here in smaller metropolises are often pretty dreary places.

    That is a really sweet train station and I like the pretty mums along side the benches. It sure is close to the tracks though! The photo of the view looking southerly is so pretty and it's nice that you have trains still passing through. Have a super week!

    When I saw your blog title on my blog roll my first thought was "What the heck is a 'sound station'"? Imagine how stupid I felt when I finally realized the error of my thoughts!

    I love trains and stations! They remind me of when I travelled to and from boarding school on a steam train back in the UK.

    A station with an art gallery - how excellent if you have to wait for the train.

    There was an old song, "Don't fence me in." But fences serve their purpose.

    Beautiful old building. I've read that being near train tracks can be very disorienting for some people.

    Too bad the station art gallery was closed, but the building is great looking. Looks like the trains are fenced off from the station. How do people get to the trains?

    Hello!:) What a splendid idea to have an art gallery inside a train station, and a very attractive round building it is too, especially. like the fresh looking flowers in the plant pots.Perhaps on your next visit the gallery will be open!

    Oh, it is a handsome train...I wondered what train system that was in the shot in the other photo. I like the colors of it, too. And love, love love, that train station...I wish I could see inside.

    Wouldn't that end that you are showing be fun to have for a dining room!

    Not the same train company, Rose, but both are Canadian owned freight companies. The one at the station has ORANGE engines and is owned by Canadian National. The freight train on the trestle bridge is Canadian Pacific and the engines are RED. ;)
