Historic Canada Southern Railway Station (Municipality of Leamington, Ontario)

 place with historical importance, train station

Board and batten railway station constructed in 1887 for the Leamington St. Clair Railway Company. Running from Comber and its junction with the Canada Southern Railway, the 13.79 railway was the first railway to serve Leamington. In 1888, the line was extended a farther 2.12 miles to Seacliff Park. Originally handling timber and lumber from the Blytheswood and Staples area as well as agricultural produce, the success of the line was assured in 1908 when the Town of Leamington induced the H.J. Heinz Company to establish its Canadian operation in Leamington.

Acquired by Canada Southern in 1889, the railway was leased to the Michigan Central Railway in 1904, the New York Central Railway in 1929 and the Pennsylvania Railway in 1974. After years of neglect and declining rail traffic, the line was purchased by Canadian Pacific and Canadian National in 1985. In 2001 the line was abandoned and the track was subsequently removed before the property was sold to the Municipality of Leamington in 2008. Plans to restore the station building remain incomplete.

In 2010, the abandoned rail right of way was converted into a walking trail.
