The station is an unstaffed but heated shelter. HistoryGananoque Junction was originally served by two railways; the Grand Trunk Montréal-Toronto mainline and the Thousand Islands Railway, an 8 km (five mile) short line which led to the waterfront. A mainline station also once existed in Lansdowne, but was torn down soon after CN abandoned service to the village in 1966.[1] The rail junction was relocated to the current station location in 1901, at a time when timber shipments to Gananoque's docks were declining and tourism on the line was growing, with the Thousand Islands heavily promoted as a vacation destination by rail and steamship. Unlike most stations of its era, Gananoque Junction had no freight-handling facility and was solely a passenger station.[2] The last passengers transferred from CN to the Thousand Island Railway at Gananoque Junction in 1962. The short line's tracks are now gone. While the junction station remains in service, a huge water tank which towered over Gananoque Junction in the steam train era is now gone.[3] Locomotive #500 from the now-defunct short line operation is on display next to Gananoque town hall; the Arthur Child Heritage Museum occupies the site of the former Gananoque waterfront station.
