I saw the Orangeville station (CPR witch's hat) being moved. Instead of lifting the powerlines, they laid them all down on the road...! 
They also had one very steep hill to negotiate - twice. Once downwards on Townline Road, and then back up, one block over, on Broadway to get the station to its final stop. It is now a restaurant (or was last time I checked - the web is not very informative on the fate of this establishment).
Ironically, the old restaurant associated with the station was left in place, used as a bunkhouse and then offices. It burned down a couple of years ago and was replaced with a modern interpretation of the witch's hat:
