The decision was made to cut costs, replacing the Toronto-to-Cochrane train service with a bus service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2017, the Town of Huntsville faced major repairs and ongoing maintenance costs for the station and decided to sell it for $2. It approved $158,000 in the 2017 budget for necessary repairs to water and sewer infrastructure.  A new owner would be responsible for remediating the mould in the building (at the time estimated at $120,000), replacing the HVAC system (estimated at $30,000), and making necessary upgrades in keeping with the station&#8217;s heritage easements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Town of Huntsville engaged in an RFP process. Two proposals were submitted \u2013 one by the Huntsville and Area Historical Society; the other, the winning bid, by a partnership comprising John Pantaleo, Adam Caswell and Scott Richardson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partners proposed to establish a \u201cCommunity Initiative Centre\u201d with a commercial kitchen where community events or private gatherings could be hosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsville Deputy Mayor Dan Armour was the only one on council at the time to vote against the divestment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I felt that it was an asset we should hold on to. It definitely had potential in the years to come, not only in rental income but if the train ever returned,&#8221; said Armour, adding that it was going to cost money to the taxpayer to hold on to the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We put a lot of money into it,&#8221; explained station owner Scott Richardson. He said he never thought the train would return. When discussions were underway about the train&#8217;s return and the station was empty, the owners offered to partner with Ontario Northland, but Richardson said they were not interested. He also said there were discussions with the Town of Huntsville to turn the area into a transportation hub, but nothing came of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We had offered the Northland people the building when it was empty, and they told us that they had no interest at all, and that&#8217;s when I said Ok, then we&#8217;re going to lease it,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richardson said the entire building is now being leased by Smokin&#8217; Hot BBQ. In terms of the community kitchen, Richardson said: &#8220;We gathered the equipment, but there was no real interest in it, but it&#8217;s still a not-for-profit and that building supports itself.&#8221; He said the work currently being done by Ontario Northland in anticipation of the train&#8217;s return does not impact the station. &#8220;They&#8217;re doing it on CN property, which doesn&#8217;t really affect us.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richardson said the station&#8217;s heritage values are being maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, Frith said she is satisfied. &#8220;In actual fact, I&#8217;m quite satisfied to go ahead and age, thinking that we had a successful project down there. The historic station was saved then. It&#8217;s in the hands of people that are now responsible for maintaining it,&#8221; she said, adding that she would, though, like to see the municipality develop some teeth in all of their heritage designations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am glad there is a building that is representative of our history. I&#8217;m glad that it attracts so many people down there to eat apparently good food, and I would&#8217;ve loved to have a part of it for a waiting room, but that&#8217;s just not practical,&#8221; said Frith. &#8220;What I am glad about is that the Ontario Northland basically accepted the fact that there was space right next to it [the station] to put the acrylic shelter and provide for the visitors that are coming and going, and the residents.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mackenzie said things change over time. &#8220;Subsequent councils were faced with financial challenges for the\u00a0station\u00a0due to its unstable condition. While I may have made a different decision, their decision was based on conditions, circumstances and priorities present at the time. Yes, with the Northlander returning, I think it would have been better if the\u00a0station\u00a0was in municipal hands. However, one cannot blame the private sector for seeking a business opportunity that was offered or a council that had a number of current priorities to consider,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-648x432.jpg 648w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/Shelters.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Illustration of the shelters to be placed along the Northlader route, where stations are not available. <br><br>The shelters will be placed at stops in Washago, Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville, South River, Temagami, Temiskaming Shores, Kirkland Lake (Swastika), and Matheson. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ontario Northland, they will offer: CCTV security cameras, real-time train arrival updates, ample lighting, reliable heating and Wi-Fi connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-1024x704.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-1024x704.png 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-768x528.png 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-436x300.png 436w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-600x413.png 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-628x432.png 628w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-750x516.png 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule-630x433.png 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2026\/03\/proposed-train-schedule.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crews have been preparing the platform beside Huntsville&#8217;s historic train station for a shelter, as the Ontario Northlander is expected to return later this year.
