The caption reads: “Waiting for the train, CPR Station at Bala, 1917. Collections Canada/ John Boyd photo.”
From trainweb.org: “Summer service to the Muskoka resort area of Bala dated to the opening of the CPR line north of Bolton to Romford Junction and Sudbury in 1907-08. Prior to this the Grand Trunk (now CNR) had the Toronto-Muskoka Lakes service to itself, its line being built many years before the CPR. Their Muskoka Express from Toronto to Muskoka Wharf (Gravenhurst) met such early day ships as the Nipissing, Islander, Medora, and Kenozha and in later times the rebuilt Segwun and Sagamo.”
