Toronto Stations & Terminals
In 1927, the Prince of Wales, Prince Edward, cut the ribbon opening Union Station declaring "you build your stations like we build our cathedrals." This lavish building takes up an entire city block and incorporates 22 stone columns, each 12.2 metres (40 ft.) high and weighing more than 75 tons. The massive Great Hall has vaulted ceilings and four-storey-high arched windows at either end. Union Station is connected to Toronto's Path system and is the hub of the GO Transit system, VIA Rail intercity transit, Amtrak, TTC (local transit), Greyhound and more. Visitors needing to get anywhere will find there way at Union Station.
VIA Rail is Canada's Rail network. It operates transcontinental service from Vancouver to Halifax, as well as fast commuter, business and leisure service within the Quebéc City-Windsor corridor. There is also service to remote locations in Ontario, Québec, Manitoba and British Columbia. In conjunction with major bus companies, Via Rail offers bus connections from many centres that do not have rail service to the nearest point on the Via network.
