The Last Train to Toronto

Toronto station was the terminus location of the Toronto branch line which opened in 1891 as a private business branch line constructed initially as a local tram service. The branch line building was a major reason that the development of the town of Toronto went ahead and has also been able to attract many tourists over the years. The Fassifern to Toronto branch line was operational until 1990 when services ceased.
The opening of the Toronto Hotel and “pleasure grounds” in 1887 provided the impetus for many company and church organisations to visit Toronto for their annual picnics by steam tram. It was also an easy journey for day trippers, creating the region’s tourism boom throughout the 1890s.
Many newlyweds soon spent their honeymoons at Toronto. They arrived by tram dressed in their finest clothes. From the Toronto station terminus, it was only a short walk up the hill to the ‘new’, prestigious hotel.
