Brantford - Grand Trunk Railway (1905-Present)

Completed in 1905 the Brantford Station is the fourth station to serve this line, the first two being constructed by Buffalo & Lake Huron Railway and the next two by Grand Trunk. Designed as a propaganda piece to inspire confidence in the railway. Following the Picturesque aesthetic and incorporating Gothic, Romanesque, and Italianate details it is a grand example of turn-of-the-century architecture that would go on to inspire Guelph's Central Station. When Canadian National ceased passenger service, VIA rail took over operations and maintains it here today.
