In December 2005, CN and CP implemented a plan to reduce train congestion on their parallel lines in central Ontario through the Parry Sound area. Consequently, westbound trains from both railways use the CP tracks while eastbound trains use the CN tracks. This has resulted in Via Rail using the CPR station for passengers taking the westbound Canadian and using the CNR station for eastbound trains.
The Tudor RevivalCanadian National Railway station is located at 1 Station Street in Parry Sound, Ontario. Built in 1932, it has been used as the primary stop for Via Rail's Canadian transcontinental passenger train service since the massive Via budget cuts on January 15, 1990. From 1955 to 1990 (except 1981–1985) it was a stop on the Super Continental, operated by CN from 1955 to 1977 and by Via from 1977 to 1981 and from 1985 to 1990.
The historical Station has been home to the Parry Sound Area Chamber of Commerce, the MTO, and the Park to Park trail association. In 2021, the station was acquired by global luxury real estate brokerage, Engel & Völkers Parry Sound. In 2022, Engel & Völkers Parry Sound donated the property to Rotary International for use as an orientation and donation centre to assist in the arrival and integration of Ukrainian refugees into the surrounding area during the Russian-Ukrainian War.
CPR Stationedit
The Canadian Pacific Railway station is located at 1 Avenue Road. It was used as a stop for Via Rail's Canadian from 1978 until January 15, 1990, after which it sat vacant for a decade until being reactivated as a private art gallery named the "Parry Sound Station Gallery" in 2001. The station was reactivated following the rearrangement of track usage. The art gallery announced in fall 2007 that it would be closing due to financial problems. Via refers to this station as "Parry Sound South" in their reservation system in order to differentiate it from the former CN station.[1]
