I absolutely adore train stations. I’m not sure why – perhaps I traveled by train often in another life. Anyhow, one of my favourite places to visit (as you may already know) is Kingston, Ontario, and downtown there is an out-of-commission station, now used as a tourist shop and information booth.
The doors, in my opinion, are spectacular. Please click on the images for a closer look.

- The front of the old Kingston Train Station, located on Ontario Street

- At the back

- The front door, through which you can see the back door, and vice versa
-
- The back door, where the travelers came out to board the train.
-
- Bonus: a secret side door going into the basement
And finally, behind the train station there’s an old engine sitting on an unused length of track. I tried to take a picture of its door, but it’s kind of squashed in where you can’t see it well.
