Description
Three buildings have been known as “Union Station” over the course of Toronto’s history. The first opened in 1858, southwest of York and Front Streets. It was replaced in 1873 by a larger, grander building at the same location. Construction of a new Union Station, located to the east of the 19th century stations, began in 1915, but was delayed by the outbreak of the First World War. Opened for passenger service in 1927, the Union Station at Bay and Front Streets was completed in 1930. Subsequent renovations and expansions to the complex have included the addition of commuter rail, links to subway service, and an underground food court.
