Matheson station


Matheson station is located in the township of Black River-Matheson in Ontario, Canada.

History

An original station was built on the line circa 1908 by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway; it was destroyed in the Matheson Fire in 1916. The present brick structure was built in its place in 1916. It still remains in place, well-maintained, unused and in good condition. The building contains a cornerstone indicating it was placed in 1916 by William Howard Hearst as Premier of Ontario, T.&N.O Railway Chairman Jacob Lewis Englehart, Denis Murphy and George Wise.
It was a stop for Northlander trains that are owned by Ontario Northland. The station was also a transfer point between the rail service and the Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services to Timmins, South Porcupine and Iroquois Falls
