Farnham station (Quebec) explained

Farnham station, or the Canadian Pacific Railway station is a disused railway station in Farnham, Quebec, Canada.^{[1] [2]} Its address is 191 Victoria Road. The current station was built in 1950^[3] to replace a previous station building (built in 1879–1882)^{[4] [5] [6]} which burned down in 1949, and opened to passenger service on March 8, 1951. The station saw its final passenger service on October 24, 1980. It was designated as a heritage railway station under the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act in 1994.
