Owned by Machan Construction and used for repair of their trucks for a number of years. This train station circa. 1890's, was originally on Mill St.[by the grain elevator] by the once railway tracks. Machon moved it here, used it, then forgot about it . There is a machine shop on the original site. Monkton was originally called Winstanley by Edward Winstanley. He changed it to Monkton in 1858.

Does anyone know if this station is still standing? Went out a few weeks ago to check it out and couldn't find it where it's shown to be on the map!
i love old train stations, my dad grew up in a number of them, a couple of the towns he grew up in are on this site, coldwell and jackfish, hearing his stories made a real soft spot in my heart for stations, too bad this one is in such disrepair, sad to see them go.
@punchbowl , I know , they took the trouble to move it here, for this ?? The county should have bought it instead , they have taxpayer money to keep it up , haha.
Great old train station!! - too bad that they are not fixed to their original state!!! - from an era long gone!!
