Former GTR/CN station

The Canadian National Railway line was relocated to a more northerly route in 1957^[1] due to construction of the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The Grand Trunk Railway and station originally came to Cornwall in 1856 and the stone CNR station building in downtown was torn down in 1962.
