Operated by Patricia Airways and Exploration with the photo probably taken at Hudson, a short distance west of the Sioux Lookout base. Hudson was a popular transit point for prospectors and supplies during the Red Lake gold rush. As in the photo, the railroad passed, and still does, close to the steep shore of Lost Lake. During the gold rush there were buildings crammed between the tracks and the water. G-CAFB crashed in September 1927. Photo from: Library and Archive Canada
