The CN yard is located on Stuart Street between Bay and Queen Streets in Hamilton, Ontario. The arrival of the railway in the 1850's and 1860's led to industrial growth and residential development in this area. The railway, in conjunction with the shipping industry, provided an efficient, effective transportation system. The rail yard once included extensive maintenance and repair facilities, machine shops, warehouses, docks and offices, but, over time, these have been discontinued at this location.
