toronto5 - Toronto railway station abandoned just days after train services were suspended in March 1990 and replaced by 'The Train' aka route 273 bus service
Since March 11, 1990, the line has been 'suspended' from the junction at Fassifern. Maintenance ceased on the track and the corridor itself.
The mainline connection was removed soon after, and the level crossing across Cary St in Toronto was removed some years later. When the shared pathway (greenway) was created, most of the track for the main line and loop line at the branch line platform at Fassifern itself was removed or just buried.
Toronto even had a goods yard (where today's foreshore park is) that was removed in the 1970's.
