The location of the first Omemee station is not known, but was likely in the vicinity of where the line crossed King Street West, possibly alongside Deane Street. This station was replaced by a new one in 1875 "east of the track, and not more than 20 rods north of King Street".  (A rod is an old Imperial measurement of length. There are four rods to a chain, which is 66 ft. So the second station was not to be more than 110 yards north of King Street.)

The Port Hope, Lindsay & Beaverton Railway had also built a branch from Millbrook to Peterborough in 1858. At that time there was no direct railway connection between Peterborough and Lindsay, travelers having to go via Millbrook Jct. For a more direct route between Peterborough, Lindsay and Toronto, construction of the "Missing Link" from Peterborough to meet "the Old Road" (the original direct line between Millbrook and Omemee) at Sibley Ave(Omemee West) was begun in 1882. This junction was effected in 1883 just east of Sibley Ave., and the 1875 station was then abandoned. Traces of this junction are still visible today. The first train passed over the new line on November 23, 1883. A new two-storey station and freight house were constructed in 1888 between the diverging tracks east of Sibley Ave.

(Note: The other hindrance to a direct route between Peterborough and Toronto [then via Lorneville] was eliminated by a connection between Manilla on the original Whitby, Port Perry & Lindsay Ry. and Blackwater [Wick Jct.] on the former Toronto & Nipissing Ry. This was completed a year or so previously, and opened for traffic in early 1883.)

The Midland Ry. was formally leased to the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada (GTR) as of January 1, 1884, and was amalgamated into the GTR as of April 1, 1893. The GTR was in turn amalgamated into the new Canadian National Railways (CNR) on January 30, 1923.

About 1909 the Village started to pressure the GTR to provide a more convenient stop, with the result that a platform (and later a waiting room), was established at Sturgeon Road. It is not clear when the station building now in the grounds of Lady Eaton Elementary School was erected, but it is likely sometime between 1915 and 1927. The "Old Road" between Millbrook and Omemee was abandoned in 1927. Coincidentally, on February 4, 1927 the Omemee Jct. station burned. The Lindsay Watchman-Warder of Thursday February 10, 1927 reports as follows:

Fire broke out in the Omemee Junction station about 10 o'clock Friday morning and in spite of the efforts of the fire brigade and dozens of willing workers, the building was completely destroyed. Three wells were pumped dry in an effort to subdue the flames, but all to no avail. Station master Dickson's family was in quarantine for measles, but they were quickly moved to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bradlay. The furniture downstairs was nearly all saved, but all clothing and upstairs furniture were destroyed. A passenger coach has been wired with telegraphic apparatus and is at present serving the purpose of the station, until other arrangements can be made.
(This clipping has been provided by Mr. Bob Dickson, great-grandson of Mr. William Dickson, the station agent. He also has in his possession a poignant letter from one of the station agent's sons George, to his brother James: 

 

... the station and house caught fire this morning between the ceiling of the waiting room and the floor of Marion's bedroom ... everything in the parlour was burned ... we got nearly everything out downstairs and in the freightshed and out in the back kitchen. It ws all a mass of ashes and burning timbers now. Twenty tons of coke is still burning ... we telephoned Lindsay before it got burning and the despatcher asked if there were any [railroad] cars in front of the station. There weren't any and he said that you won't need an engine, so he didn't have one come down until about one o'clock. It was all burnt then and they put the hose on the coke and platform, but I think it will all be gone when we get up tomorrow ... the Mixed [train] set a car off and we put in what we did save ... we do not know what they are going to do now [this presumably refers to the railway]. anyway I had better close now as I want you to get this news tomorrow [in Chicago, please note], and [Train No.] 94 will soon be here ... 
[In a footnote it appears that the reason for the fire was that "the local doctor insisted that the pipes from the waiting room stove be moved from one spot to another in the ceiling so that they would not pass through Tom's room and thus spread over the countryside the measles germs he had".]

The agent at the Junction, Mr. William Dickson, was then appointed to the smaller station at Sturgeon Road.

The last passenger train passed through Omemee on January 31, 1962, and the Lindsay – Peterborough line was abandoned in 1989.

This summary would not be complete without reference to the fact that the CPR also touched the railway history of Omemee, although much more modestly. When the Georgian Bay & Seaboard Railway was built from  Port McNicholl through to Montreal in 1912 (see my Victoria County Railway History), Omemee gained a flagstop between Franklin and Hillhead stations on the Bethany Junction - Lindsay Junction section of the line (removed in 1987). The shelter was no more than a converted old boxcar that sat on the east side of the track in Concession 10, Lot 5 of Ops Twp., south of Crosswind Road.
