Toronto Union Station (1858)

[1] This was followed in 1855 by Great Western Railways (GWR), which connected Toronto to the west along the waterfront,[2] from a station at the Queen's Wharf.

The three railways now converged at the Toronto waterfront, a narrow strip of land south of Front Street.

[5][6] Three GTR trains departed daily to the east (to Montreal and Kingston) and two to the west (through Guelph, Berlin and Stratford).

[5] In 1864, delegates from the Charlottetown and Quebec City conferences on the Canadian Confederation were welcomed at this station by a huge crowd which then escorted the delegates to the Queen's Hotel on Front Street.

[7] In 1867, the Northern opened its City Hall station at Jarvis Street.
