Hornepayne railway station is located in the township of Hornepayne, Ontario, Canada. This station is currently serviced by Via Rail's transcontinental train The Canadian.
The station was originally established in 1913 by the Canadian Northern Ontario Railway as a divisional point and headquarters for the Superior Division, under the name Fitzbach railway station; changing it's name to Hornepayne around 1920.[1] Until the arrival of the highway in the 1980s the town was dependent on the railway for transportation of supplies into the community.[1]
