Train Station
Scene where None
Scene was shot Toronto's Union Station is the largest train station in Canada and is the third train station to bear that name. Construction on the station began in 1914 just to the east of the old station, but while the building was completed in 1920, trains didn't start running through it until 1927 due to a dispute over the tracks. The building was recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1975 and inducted into the Railway Hall of Fame in 1999. The station currently operates Via Rail, Amtrak, and GO Transit trains, as well as the dedicated Union Pearson Express to the airport and subway trains through the station under Front Street.
