Summary
Moore Park Station was built by the Toronto Belt Line Railway while it was under construction in 1892. The Toronto Belt Line was leased by the Grand Trunk Railway before it opened, and all traffic on the line was made up entirely of Grand Trunk locomotives and passenger cars. The station at Moore Park was quite possibly the most extravagant of any station on the Toronto Belt Line, having numerous ornate architectural features commonly seen during the Victorian era. The building was also quite large, occupying approximately 1/3 of an acre. The second floor likely contained living quarters for the station agent and their family, which was commonly done in places where separate accommodations were not possible for any number of reasons. It was located beneath and just to the south of Moore Avenue, which was carried above the station by a wooden bridge that no longer exists.
The anticipated sales of real estate in the area failed to materialize, and service over the Belt Line ended just two years later in November 1894. The line north of Rosedale quickly deteriorated after years of neglect, but in 1910 the section from Fairbank Junction to Mount Pleasant Road was revived by the Grand Trunk as a spur to directly access industries. Due to the steep grade of the segment through Moore Park, it was left abandoned and the rails were pulled up shortly thereafter. The station was initially sold and readapted as a private residence for a time, lasting at least until the early 1930’s after which it was demolished. Little trace of the station remains today, but in 1989 the railway right-of-way was converted into a recreational trail.

Neither bridge remains, though a pedestrian bridge now spans the valley at Heath Street. Courtesy of the City of Toronto Archives.
