West Harbour GO improvements

The newly completed connecting track at West Harbour GO station enables this expanded service. Previously, West Harbour GO was not connected to the main track west of the station, forcing Niagara Falls trains to reverse into and out of the station. Trains will be able to travel directly through the station without needing to reverse, resulting in smoother operations and a more efficient journey.
