The Gothic Revival station was built in 1891 by the Grand Trunk Railway (to a design by engineer Joseph Hobson) and later acquired by Via Rail through CN Rail.[1]
Service
As of January 2026, the station is served by one round trip daily to Toronto Union Station via London and Kitchener, Ontario. Train 84 leaves departs from Sarnia at 8:40 am, and returns as train 87 at 10:24 pm.[2] End-to-end travel time is approximately five hours.
The International Limited was operated jointly by Via Rail and Amtrak between Chicago and Toronto. The service, which had ended in 1971 by CN Rail, was restarted in 1982 and discontinued again in 2004 due to border delays and post-9/11.[3]
