Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: Union Station Toronto

I took a photo of this arch just because I liked it.

The modern-day entrance to the tracks is underground, accessed via the portal between the two ticket kiosks. The kiosk on the right, in the foreground, was the one operating on this day. I arrived very early, around 0630, before they opened, so I had to wait.

Here's another shot of Toronto Union Station, showing the flag display. From the look of it, all of them are Canada-related, rather than international. The words above them are cities througout Canada.

My solution to the air travel fiasco was to take the "Maple Leaf" from Toronto to Utica. The Maple Leaf is an international train operated jointly by VIA Rail Canada, Canada's national passenger train operator, and Amtrak, VIA's American equivalent. The schedule is 7 hours, 9 minutes long, which is mostly due to a great deal of padding for the Niagara Falls stop, where the border control is. This rather elaborate station is Toronto Union Station, the busiest train station in Canada, hosting 200,000 passengers a day. Although it was opened in 1927, it's full of World War I memorials and references.
