St. Catharines station is a railway station in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada that is served by Via Rail trains connecting it with Toronto, and by the Maple Leaf joint Via-Amtrak train between Toronto and New York City. The station is also served by seasonal weekend GO Trains operating between Toronto and Niagara Falls.
The single level pavilion-style station was opened in 1917 by the Grand Trunk Railway and acquired by CN Rail in 1923. Via Rail gained ownership in the 1986.[1] It is the third station to be built on the site, first in 1853 by Great Western Railway and then 1898 by Grand Trunk.[2] It was renovated in 1988 and 1994, but neither changed the appearance of the structure.
The station is staffed and wheelchair-accessible (since 1988), and offers free parking.
A similar station was also built in Berlin, New Hampshire around the same time in 1917.
