Canadian National Railways Rideau Area Belleville, Ontario 30 December 1966 Mrs. Jack English R.R. #1 ShannOnville, Ontario Dear Mrs. English: Following our telephone conversation, I am transmitting you briefly some of the background of stations on the former Deseronto Subdivision in the TOWUSblp Of Tyendinaga. This subdivision was part of the Canadian Northern Railway (prior to amalgamation in 192u when 1t became the property of Canadian National Railways)- The actual stations between Napanee and Belleville: east to west, were: Napanee, Deseronto, Mohawk, Thurlow and Belleville South. I understand there was a water tank sometimes referred to as ShannonVille, between stations Mohawk and ThurlOW- The Shannonville station which is still in existence is located on the Grand Trunk Railway. . . hich were manned b an The statlons listed abOVe are those w . . y . Agent and hence were agencies. An agency is a pOint at which / busin . d and a balance sheet struck on the Lf/foperaigjn:Sagr:§::cggint. Most such agen01es are located in stations along the track and trains are scheduled to and from these points.J In addition; these agen01es are also published in the freight and passenger tariffs ior the purpose ?f 00“â€" ductina business to and from these pOlntSh HOWBVGfi, 1n some larger cities an agency might be located off line and need not necessarily be involved in scheduling trains since they are not located on the main line- Apart from agencies mentioned above there are locations where , a station building may exist. These are commonly known as ” Flea Stations. Freight traffic and passengers may be handled to and from such flag stations and the accounting performed normally by the nearest agent. You mentioned that some people entrained and detrained at a point somewhere between Mohawk and Thurlow; this could very well be on the basis of a flag station.
