The stone abutment of an earlier, lower alignment of the CN line over Harrowsmith Road, beside the newer overpass. Remains of a third set of abutments are apparently there, though I couldn't see them.

The location where the parallel CN and CP lines crossed County Road 38 until the early 1980s, looking northwest. This is now the Cataraqui Trail. In the distance is the Harrowsmith Storage Company, where the old railway station was relocated and survived into the early 2000s.

Remains of the former asphalt platform at the original location of the Harrowsmith railway station. The station was between the railway line and Railway Street, just on the east side of Wilton Street.
