Comments on: This is the southbound ONR-CN passenger train that ran prior to the ONR getting the infamous TEE train sets. I believe they alternated CN and ONR head end power. On this day, CN 6536 and an unknown B unit pass the old Richmond Hill station. Note the new arrival of welded rail. And the station was moved in the early 1980s to Elgin Mills Rd to become a senior centre. Its current status I do not know, but assume it is still standing. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The station was closed in 1968 and moved in 1979 to Elgin Mills & Leslie Sts as the Richmond Hill Minor Soccer Club.
