The ONR runs deep through my blood. Everyone in my Moms family worked or had something to do with the ONR. Her father, worked in Iroquois Falls/ Ansonville, Ontario, and then was transfered up to Cochrane where he worked at the Shops until he retired. My oldest uncle for a while handled switching in the Cochrane yard, and his brothers worked with the section crews in the summertime. My Aunt worked as a coach cleaner and was a waitress at the station restaurant. My Mom worked at the Tim Hortons muesum which is right beside the ONR Cochrane yard and station.
