Leaside railway station was opened in 1894 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, to serve the new Toronto community of Leaside, on a railway line leased from the Ontario and Quebec Railway.〔''An Act to confirm the lease of the Ontario and Quebec Railway to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and for other purposes'', S.C. 1884, c. 54, confirming the (【引用サイトリンク】url = https://archive.org/stream/cihm_11448#page/n7/mode/2up )〕 That wooden frame structure burned down in the 1940s and was replaced by a more contemporary building in 1946. Passenger service ended in 1982, when Via Rail’s Toronto to Havelock route was discontinued. ==History== The first railway company to come to Leaside was the Ontario and Quebec Railway, in the 1870s. The Canadian Northern Railway purchased some land north of that in 1906, for a locomotive repair shop and marshalling yard. When the CPR built a new line, connecting Leaside Junction down through the Don Valley via Don Station to Union Station in 1892, it gave the station more prominence and enabled additional train service.〔 Between 1975 and 1983 the building was operated by CP Hotels for the ''Village Station Restaurant'' and for a short time after that was used as a CPR business centre and CPR Police office.〔 Under Metrolinx's regional transportation plan, The Big Move, consideration has been given to providing through GO Train service to Seaton from Union Station. The earlier MoveOntario 2020 plan was to serve Peterborough by way of the Midtown Corridor. In 2009 the property was acquired by Metrolinx for potential future GO Transit service. 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「Leaside railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
