Cutting straight through to the heart of downtown Toronto one finds the business end of Union Station. 250,000 people a day travel through the station.
Union Station and the adjacent Rail Corridor is known as the Union Station Rail Corridor (USRC). The USRC is some 6.4 km long and consists of a complex network of approach tracks, passenger platforms and four Interlocking’s at Cherry Street, Scott Street, John Street and Bathurst Street. It has 14 station tracks with platform access, and more than 180 signals, 250 switch machines, 40 km of circuited track and all associated infrastructure.
Ongoing project is nearing completion to upgrade the facility and includes upgraded signals and track, a new roof and glass atrium over the passenger platforms, new staircases and access points as well as a completely new underground shopping concourse within the main building below the tracks.
