Riverdale Railway Station was located on De Grassi Street just north of Queen Street East[3] in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Constructed by the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) in 1896 as "Queen East Station", on what is now the Lakeshore East line, the station was renamed "Riverdale Station" in 1907.[2] The Canadian National Railway (CNR) took over the station in 1923, when they absorbed the Grand Trunk Railway.[4] CNR discontinued passenger train service at the station in 1932, later for commercial use and demolished the building in 1974.[5]
