This is the Grand Trunk (Central Counties Railway), not the Canadian Pacific station.
This is not a Canadian Pacific Station, but the Central Counties Railway (later Grand Trunk) station and interlocking tower at the crossing of the CPR "Short Line" which was completed through Hammond and on to Ottawa in 1898 (not 1888).
The platform served the branch line trains from Rockland to South Indian (Limoges) which was the senior railway at the crossing and therefore controlled the interlocking signals.
The architecture of the signal tower is very similar to the one built on the same branch at Rockland, where the Canadian Northern Railway crossed the Central Counties.
