Toronto's Railway Heritage

by Derek Boles

Toronto Railway Book

213-6570-5 Toronto's Railway Heritage

On May 16, 1853, the first passenger train steamed out of Toronto from a wooden depot that
was located near the site of today’s Union Station. Over the next century, the railways had
a profound impact on the geography and economic fortunes of Toronto and helped transform it from
a provincial town into the commercial centre of Canada. To the dismay of many, the railways also
swallowed up prime real estate on Toronto’s waterfront and isolated its citizens from Lake Ontario,
the city’s most scenic asset. The struggle between the promoters of unfettered railway development and
crusaders for public access to the waterfront culminated during the 1920s with the building of the
waterfront railway viaduct and Union Station. This magnificent Beaux-Arts railway terminal is the
busiest transportation hub in Canada and is undergoing a $1.5 billion revitalization. Inside this
book are over 200 rare images illustrating 80 years of Toronto’s railway history.
