Photograph depicts Craigellachie station, a famous spot on the C.P.R. line. The trans-continental line was joined here on November 7, 1885, about 250 yards down the track just beyond the right hand colour aspect signal. The depot house is not manned, used by the line side crews to store equipment. In former days it was a passing point, but there are very few houses in the area now.
