Summary
Nestleton Station was built in in 1904 by the Lindsay, Bobcaygeon & Pontypool Railway, which existed solely on paper as a proxy of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was a single-storey wood frame structure with a hipped roof and an overhang acting as a shelter above the platform. Directly across the tracks from the station was a grain elevator which was used to serve local agriculture. As the LB&P was a rural branch line, rail traffic was sparse and its operation was only negligibly profitable. The first train arrived on July 28th, 1904, after which the station saw a total of six trains per day.
Branch lines were some of the first to be affected by the popularization of automobile travel in the early to mid 20th century. Passenger ridership was further impacted by the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, and the station was closed in 1932 when a significant portion of line stretching from Lindsay to Burketon was abandoned. Today there is little trace of the railway through Nestleton, although the station was left in place and remains as a private residence. Its exterior has been significantly altered beyond recognition.
