This stately building on Yonge Street in Toronto used to be home to North Toronto railway station. I had to look up this building in Google to verify its history … but its proximity to train tracks and the lovely clock tower pretty much gave away its heritage. It is currently a (very beautiful) liquor store.

Via Rail’s Canadian in Jasper National Park. The view is from one of the forward Skyline dome cars, looking back toward the back of the train. Snapped on my cross-Canada train trip back in April 2013.
