METAGAMA

NAME: Metagama COUNTY: -- ROADS: 2WD GRID: 1 CLIMATE: Snow in Winter, Warm Summer. BEST TIME TO VISIT: Summer

COMMENTS: Worth Seeing. REMAINS: Foundations and ruins.

Accessible only by rail from Sudbury, Metagama was never more than a section camp or village for CPR rail crews. Its heyday was during the First World War when a construction crew occupied the village. After the construction project was completed, the crew moved out and Metagama was left to stand-alone. Structures that have survived the years are the old insulbrick section houses and the small station that is a waiting room for passengers. Submitted by: Henry Chenoweth
