Toronto Union Station (1858)
Toronto’s first Union Station was a passenger rail station located west of York Street at Station Street, south of Front Street in downtown Toronto. It was built by the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) and opened in 1858.
==History==
The Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) built the first union station in Toronto in 1858 at a location just west of the present Union Station train shed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.trha.ca/1stunionstation.html )〕 The station consisted of three wooden structures and was initially shared with the Northern Railway of Canada and the Great Western Railway, although both railways soon built their own stations along the Toronto waterfront. It opened on June 21, 1858.
In 1864, delegates from the Charlottetown and Quebec City conferences on the Confederation of Canada were welcomed at this station by a huge crowd which then escorted the delegates to the Queen's Hotel on Front Street.〔
By the 1870s, the 1858 station was inadequate and the Grand Trunk built a much larger, second Union Station at the same location, opening in 1873. The other railways continued to use their own stations, but stopped at the Union Station as a courtesy to passengers.
