"Toronto's Union Station is still vast and magnificent in its cool proportions, classy decorative stone, and drefined Beaux-Arts lines. It may not be as famous as its New York cousin --Grand Central Station--but, to Torontonians, Union Station has served as a great gateway to the city. Monumental it certainly is because it occupies an entire city block on the south side of Front Street between York and Bay streets. It also recalls a past era of train travel when passengers passed through the lobby or detoured to the station's barbershop and even baths. The four architects who steered this huge project were friends and admirers of the heroic proportions, sense of drama, and rational planning that constituted Beaux-Arts design. Care in the choice of materials was crucial. The massive 850-foot (260-m) facade is clad in Indiana and Queenston limestone and the centerpiece entranceway comprises a broad colonnade of Bedford limestone, each column weighing 75 tons and rising to 40 feet (12 m). Walk between these huge pillars and you enter the 25-foot- (80-m-) long lobby along marble flooring, laid in a herringbone pattern, which complements the inside walls fashioned in Zumbro (fossilized) stone and echoes the splendidly tiled ceiling. The arching was added to avoid any dark shadows that a flat ceiling would project. Look halfway up the north and south walls and you will find the names of the cities served by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the former Grand Trunk Railroad (that together formed the "Union"). The list alternates from side to side, naming the cities from east to west. This piece of "Canadiana" came from John Luke’s desire to create a decoration expressive of Canada"

"Major railway station and intermodal transportation hub located on Front Street West, on the south side of the block bounded by Bay Street and York Street in downtown Toronto. National Historic Site of Canada since 1975 and Heritage Railway Station since 1989. North America's second-busiest railway station ahead of New York City's Grand Central Terminal and Canada's busiest transportation facility, serving over 72 million passengers each year."
