The station is no longer occupying this space, and has been relocated behind the fire department headquarters on Fairview St. The area now serves as a storage yard for rail machinery and other stuff. You will notice massive piles of old rail ties as well as rail maintenance vehicles which are still in use. Units operating in this area include the GO Lakeshore West passenger trains, VIA and Amtrak passenger trains, and CN freight. It is the junction of the CN Halton and Oakville subdivisions. CN Burlington West, along with Bayview Junction, is among the best locations in Burlington for railfanning.  Basic Information Type: Outdoors Status: Repurposed Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: check it out if you're nearby  Physical Information Address Near 942 Brant Street Burlington, Ontario Canada Owner: Canadian National Rail See a map of this location  Hazards rust  Interesting Features Huge piles of old rail ties, parked maintenance vehicles, and a great spot for railfanning in Burlington.  Security Measures employees coming and going  Historical Dates Built: 0 Closed: 1988  Required Equipment Closed toe footwear  Recommended Equipment Camera  History Location of the former Freeman train station, which remained at this location before it was moved to the Fairview St. Fire Department Headquarters in 2005.  Media Coverage Derailed: Historic Freeman Station remains homeless http://www.burling...ews/article/291733  Future Plans See Media Coverage.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Historical photos Sun, Jan 10th, 2010 posted by insanedArk 11 pictures July 2009 - January 2010 Mon, Jan 11th, 2010 posted by insanedArk 14 pictures Freeman Station: Then and now Mon, Jan 18th, 2010 posted by insanedArk 2 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://railfan.ca/Burlington_West.html http://www.trainwe...ronto/halpeel.html  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
