FS2004 Scenery--Shepherd Bay (CWSB) in Nunavut, Canada. This was a DEW line Auxiliary Station on the western shore of the lower reaches of the Boothia Peninsula, 50 miles south of Taloyoak and 60 miles east of Gjoa Haven. The station was closed in 1989 but is almost intact except for a diesel tank or two. There are also other buildings nearby, and others on the beach landing area. A NWS automated station was opened in the same year as the Dew station was closed. The runway is also still there and is around 4500 feet of gravel 100' wide, aligned 027T/207T. There are no lights, signage, or windsock, but the usual large hangar which was built at all Auxiliary Stations still survives. This is one of the more interesting DEW line stations. By Roger Wensley.
