1885-01-01The new passenger station of the Canada Atlantic Railway at the Chaudiere was opened for the convenience of passengers on New Year's Day. It is a very neat and comfortable building and will be no doubt appreciated by passengers at the West End. Ottawa Citizen 1885-01-03(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
1886-03-29Burglars broke into the office of the Canada Atlantic Railway at the Chaudiere a few nights ago. They threw the contents of a trunk on the floor, and, as nothing was missing, it is expected they beat a hasty retreat. The police have been notified.

1888-02-18On the Canada Atlantic there have been very heavy shipments of lumber. More lumber is being shipped from the Chaudiere depot than from any other shipping point in Canada. The yard is full of loaded sleds waiting for cars. Ottawa Free Press 1888-02-18(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher, 'Local Railway I...)
1888-12-03The Canada Atlantic Junction at the Chaudiere, capable of holding 200 cars, is almost filled; a lively winter is anticipated in shipping, with a large quantity of lumber to be exported and grain and potatoes brought in.
