Ingersoll railway station in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada is a stop for Via Rail trains running from Toronto west to Windsor. The station is wheelchair accessible, and the shelter has a pay-phone and washrooms. Reservations are required for a train to stop at this station. Four trains going east and west are available daily ==History== The station was originally built in 1886 by the Great Western Railway which was purchased in 1882 by the Grand Trunk Railway and merged into the Canadian National Railway in 1920. The historic building was closed in 1979 when VIA took over train operation and a utilitarian wooden frame structure, containing a waiting room and washroom facilities, was built just to the east. Being one of Ingersoll's few remaining significant historic buildings it is in the municipal heritage inventory, but it has not been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.〔 The building is boarded up and has not been protected or restored. It was referenced in ''Planning for Heritage Railway Stations: Inventory'' where it was described as follows: "The Ingersoll station was modelled after the Woodstock station and features a steeply pitched cross-gabled roof with overhang and large wooden brackets. The station is architecturally significant and is a very good example of the Gothic Revival style adapted for a smaller station. It was evaluated as Heritage Class B". 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「Ingersoll railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
