Meteghan Station
Mile 57.2 at Meteghan on the Yarmouth Subdivison
In an email dated February 20, 2013, Phil Mason said "When we visited in May/June 1975, the DAR had just abolished the operators at several stations, Meteghan being one and Weymouth another. Because there was still RDC service, these stations had "caretakers" for awhile. This would be a person who would come in an hour or so before train time, and open up the waiting room.
Meteghan has a green and white flag. This is a signal for the passenger train to stop to pick up passengers at a "flag" stop. The caretaker would display the signal. In many places, the prospective passengers would do this.
Sadly, the world changed, and caretaker operated stations would get vandalised even in peaceful rural areas. Within a couple of years, the DAR boarded up or demolished the flag stop stations."
The VIA Rail station for Meteghan that was sold to Robert Long Real Estate had been resold, and later owned by a B. German. Though the fait of the station like others it was finally torn down. (1)
