Though not used presently for passengers, the station in Casselman still rests on railway property.

The Casselman station has changed little since this 1939 photograph (owned by the National Museum of Science and Technology).


Mile post 47 is found a short distance east of Casselman station.

Having undertaken track maintenance, Ontario Northland Rail's Plasser Universal Mainliner (52-184) rests on the siding east of Cassleman.

In 1895, the 16.4 miles of the Central Counties Railway connected South Indian (Limoges) (junction of the main Canada Atlantic) with Rockland (which would eventually have junction with CNR l'Orignal subdivision, presently the Trans-Canada Highway. The track was abandoned from Limoges to Clarence Creek in 1923 and then abandoned through to Rockland in 1936, shortly before the l'Orignal subdivision (Ottawa to Hawkesbury) was also abandoned.

Remnants of the Hammond subdivision right-of-way are few. The following photograph captures the (northward) crossing of the Cambridge-Russell townline, less than one mile north of the South Indian junction.

The next photographs capture the crossing at the present-day Golf Road north of Hammond (southward and northward views, respectively). In winter this mile-long survival of the former rail bed is part of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs trail #E212Q. This OFSC trail winds its way over to a portion of the M&O subdivision in Cumberland township.
