Sunnyside Station
Sunnyside station was located in the west end of Toronto
on the GTR/CNR Oakville Subdivision connecting Toronto with Hamilton
and points beyond. The CPR has had rights to operate trains over this
line to Hamilton and Buffalo since 1896 as a Joint Section of trackage.
Sunnyside was owned and staffed by Grand Trunk/Canadian National. The
grade separation project saw South Parkdale (between Jameson and Close)
and Swansea (Lake Shore Road and Windermere Ave. closed December 1,
1910), stations closed and replaced by Sunnyside, mid-point between
the two.

Effective October 30, 1966 Sunnyside was eliminated as
a stop for CPR and CNR passenger trains, except for the Hamilton-Toronto
commuter trains, which ended with the beginning of GO Transit trains
in May 1967. It was demolished shortly thereafter.
