Smiths Falls/Carleton Place/Perth Ontario
#4
Charlie:
Smiths Falls has the only operational station. They may have two, one for the museum. (In 1998 the museum had 2 stations.)
Perth's station (where I grew up) is no longer active and is probably no longer there. The track has been singled for a long time.
Carleton Place no longer has tracks through it in either direction. In 1998, the staion was being used as a daycare(Coleman St at Beckwith).
A station was moved to Glen Tay (west of Perthon Hwy 7) to be a private residence.

There is a new station in the Ottawa area at Fallowfield.

If you happen by the Perth station area, I would like to know if the monument to the Mammoth Cheese is still in the station area.

(My Railway Station Guide is the 1998 edition.)

Smiths Falls is the junction between the CPR main line to Montreal and the CN/VIA line between Ottawa and Brockville. Perth is also on the CPR line.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
