Lets say this, that yes…it is a shock to see such a large modern station beside the original GTR built station, which now looks TINY in comparison.

I’d post a photo of the new, but still have to see if our external drive is recoverable, saving all photos!

Don’t remember. And I have not seen the changes. I’ll be in for a shock, I guess; if I ever penetrate that Big Wall of Toronto to get over that way again.

NICE!

You wouldn’t be able to capture this angle today, since they built the new station with pedestrian bridge and platforms, over the realigned tracks. Love the old ‘comms’ building too.

And, just off to the left wasn’t there a smaller yard office building that would be to the left of the red Belleville sign shown?
