You're probably wondering why I have a cache at a Fire Station, when the whole series is about former train stations. Well on this site the land had be sold to the fire Dept. and they literally built the station on the old railway station. Rather then waste money tearing down a government building to reclaim another branch of goverment's land, they went around it. Ed's Hydralics was also built on the railbed, but since they were going around one building, why not two.Another odd thing about Mabou station is that its not actually in the town, they never put a bridge across to what is the center of Mabou. Well if you drive north of Mabou you'll notice that the land changes drastically, the Cape Mabou Highlands dominate the area, and highlands and railways are not a good mix. So they diverted to the east into Glendyre and Blackstone along lake Ainslie then on to Inverness, bypassing the hilly terrain of the Cape Mabou region. Please bring own writing tool
