Sharbot Lake
Located on the Ontario & Quebec mainline between
Perth and Havelock,
Sharbot Lake was a crossing point of the Kingston & Pembroke. Both
railways became part of the C.P.R.

This photograph, while believed to have been taken in
the 1950's, might well have been taken decades earlier. Look carefully
at the station walls where four ancient oil lamps provided lighting!
The lack of electric power was likely due to its remote location to
Hydro lines. A Royal Mail box is also located next to the chalk board.
