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. [7]
The Farnham station building last served as the headquarters for the Canadian operations of the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (MMA), which declared bankruptcy in August 2013 as a direct result of the Lac-Mégantic derailment in July that year. [8]
