Construction is well under way on the other side of the bridge to finish GO James St. North in time for the Pan-Am Games in summer 2015. The former CN Station at left, built in the 30's and now owned by LIUNA  serves as a banquet hall. The last GO train that called from the former CN station was in 1996. 18 years later, instead of re-using the existing station, GO is spending $30M on a new structure, parking, platforms, and if rumours are to be believed, sound barriers (especially along Stuart St). GO is also building a layover facility at Lewis Rd. in Winona, but the Centennial station is not yet on the books. I would anticipate this new station will serve a temporary layover facility for GO trains until Lewis Rd. is completed in 2015 or 2016, but that's just my guess.
