Redwater

Redwater began its life as a tiny little whistle stop on the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway. In 1903 the rails reached the site at mileage point 55.8, at Redwater Lake, en route to New Liskeard. The following year a section village containing a small station, telegraph key, a siding and water tank was established. The dozen or so men, who were posted at Redwater, lived in either the station, the bunkhouse, or in one of two section homes, one of which was reserved for the foreman.
