Big news... BIG news. NB Liquor makes tracks to station. Yes, the Fredericton train station is going to be restored, by the NB Liquor Corporation.
I confess that I had given up on the idea of the train station being restored. In my time as president of the Fredericton Friends of the Railway [Station] I championed the cause, but within the last year I had lost hope. I fully expected to read sometime in the next few years that the station was gone.
Maybe I should have moved out west sooner? ;)
You should follow Tim Scammell, former and current president of the FFoTR, for news on the station. And, of course, Charles Leblanc!

Kudos to the liquor monopoly!!!
The former mid-Toronto CP Station, Summerhill, was converted from a shuttered station to a grand retail establishment for some very top flight libations from the LCBO.
It is a mecca for those that like the high end stuff. The building was restored to its former glory.
Hopefully, they can do the same in Fredericton.
Steve, I have a couple of good shots of the n.b.southern railfan trip to Renforth, on the CNline out of Saint John, I'll have to get the daughter to put them up.
