Aurora GO Station is a railway station and bus station in the GO Transit network located on Wellington Street East between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue in Aurora, Ontario, Canada. It is a stop on the Barrie line train service, and connects with York Region Transit local bus routes, and the GO Express Bus between Newmarket Bus Terminal and Union Station Bus Terminal. ==History== Rail presence in Aurora dates to 16 May 1853, when steam train service began between Toronto and Machell's Corners, as Aurora was then known, on the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron railway. The first train was led by the ''Toronto'', the first locomotive built in Canada, completed at the James Good foundry ''Toronto Locomotive Works'' on 16 April 1853.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Toronto No. 2 )〕 The train consist included two boxcars carrying freight, one passenger coach car, and one mixed passenger and baggage car. This first voyage is commemorated by a plaque installed in 1953 at Union Station in Toronto. The train's arrival at the Wellington Street train station was greeted with cheers from nearly all residents of the community, who had assembled at the station, and the event was celebrated with a fireworks display.〔 Connection to the railway led to prosperity for Aurora, with the development of two hotels, a wagon maker, a brewery, and other businesses.〔 In 1855 the line was completed to Collingwood. In 1900, Grand Trunk Railway constructed the present building to a standard plan design with a porte-cochère and low profile.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canadian National Railway Station )〕 The building was designated a provincial heritage building in 1971 and a federal heritage railway station in 1990. The station building was renovated after GO Transit became the exclusive passenger carrier in 1992. On August 21, 2012, GO Transit opened a new bus loop to accommodate all GO and York Region Transit bus service at the station.〔http://transit.toronto.on.ca/archives/weblog/2012/08/24-new_bus_lo.shtml〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aurora GO Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
