A new train station recently opened up in Calgary and they re-erected this old sign. When I first moved here I noticed the sign in front of a cool old gas station that looked like it belonged on the set of “Back to the Future”. I never got a picture of the building, because I never thought they would tear it down or move it. Anyhow, they did move the building (I believe), but I’m not sure where to. I am happy they fixed up the old sign and put it back up though, it’s brings a real charm to the Tuscany C-Train Station.

Rob, I recall this old building with its fab sign. I thought I had a photo but couldn’t find….probably my mind is playing tricks! Anyway, I found this link and a photo taken by George Webber. Your readers may enjoy reading some of the history behind the motel too. http://www.canada.com/entertainment/Town+Eamon+Bungalow+Camp+Crowchild+Trail+Calgary/6346994/story.html?__federated=1
Oh cool, thank you for sharing that.
Hello Rob,
The garage was moved to Stavley Alberta where it sat in an enclosed quansit for a number of years. The River City Classics bought the garage from the city of Calgary for $10.00. The building has since been relocated to High River and is being restored and turned into a museum. Please go the River City Classics Car Club website for more info and pics or Friends of Eamons Garage.
