Glen Gordon Station, now a name only is about a mile south of Glen Gordon [Glen Gordon P.O.] In the mid 1940's - early 1950's there was a General Store here, south west corner which a Mr. [ Paul?]Seguin ran. The Seguin store either burnt or was taken down. Later by around 1960 George Lunan build a house on about the same spot and had for a few years a small general store. See sketch below by Alex W Fraser
The Mossasin train passed here on a regular basis at one time.
The red brick building center right is where the station was, thus the locatiopn of Glen Gordon Station.
It is true that this area is now known mainly as Glen Gordon, nevertheless before that it was also known as Glen Gordon Station to distinguish it from Glen Gordon [Glen Gordon P.O] about a mile north at the junction of Highway 34 & the 4th Lancaster.
To the immediate right, across highway 34 but not shown is the CJOH TV tower of about 750 feet in height.
