Here are a couple from my town of Boonton. First the Lackawanna's freight station, now a dance studio. Except for paint, pretty much as was. You can see the nose of a NJ Transit E8 in the background, part of the old yard here was relaid and is storing equipment bound for a museum...someday.
And this was the passenger station in Boonton, down the line from the freight station perhaps 1/2 mile. Now a gay bar. Here is the present NJ Transit "station" in Boonton

The former CNR Express warehouse at Brantford, Ontario, now used by the MoW Dept.:
The former CNR station at Jordan Station, seen here a couple of blocks from the tracks and in-use as a private home: The former CPR station at Goderich, Ontario, now owned by that town's Works Dept., and used for storage: The first Grimsby, Ontario train station, built by the Great Western Rwy. (later CNR) in the 1850s. It's shown here, in at least its fourth incarnation, as a pottery and antique dealership. Previously it was a lumber outlet, and before that, an agricultural supply dealer. It was moved about 100' from its original location when the "new" station was built: Here's its replacement, built by the CNR: It later became a roadhouse-type bar and restaurant, while continuing to function as a station, served by CN (later VIA) and Amtrak: It eventually burned to the ground, but has been replace by a glass and steel shelter, still served by VIA and Amtrak. I don't know for what this building was used originally, but I doubt that it was either a bowling alley or the BAP's main plant: Wayne

This is the only brick depot built by the Grand Trunk along the line from Toronto to Montreal. Now in use as Memory Junction museum.
