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.
1957, May 23 - the first Canadian National train (no. 441) operated over the relocated main line between Cornwall and Cardinal. The new station, that of the post-war design with a flat roof, was at the north end of Station Road, east of Pitt Street in city's north end.
