[1] Passenger services across the North Saskatchewan River were discontinued in 1972, and the station building itself was demolished in 1978.
[2] The initial construction of the Calgary and Edmonton Railway in 1891 was limited by the North Saskatchewan River with services reaching no further than Strathcona.
The High-Level Bridge was constructed to complete the railway to Edmonton proper and squash this disadvantage.
When it was completed in 1913, CPR (who had acquired the C&E) constructed a new station north of the river, on the northwest corner of Jasper Avenue and 109 Street.
Following the CPR's withdrawal of passenger services to downtown Edmonton in 1972, the station building was demolished in 1978 despite an effort to save it.
