Leaside railway station

Toronto, Italy

Leaside station is a former railway station in Toronto that served Leaside and Thorncliffe Park. The Canadian Pacific Railway built the station in 1894 to serve the new community of Leaside, on a railway line leased from the Ontario and Quebec Railway. That wooden frame structure burned down in the

1940s and was replaced by a more contemporary building in 1946. Passenger service ended in 1982, a few years before Via Rail’s Toronto to Havelock route was discontinued. Metrolinx began demolition of the former station in June 2022 as part of its early works for the construction of the Ontario Line maintenance and storage facility (MSF) in Thorncliffe Park.
