History of the John Street Roundhouse and Coal Tower – Toronto Railway Museum

Toronto’s railway history dates back to 1853 when the city’s first passenger trains ran on steam-powered locomotives burning wood. By the 1870s, coal had replaced wood as the primary fuel source, and remained dominant into the 1950s. The coal tower shown here was a 350-ton mechanical coaling plant operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), providing an efficient—though dirty and polluting—source of fuel.

Most of Toronto’s coal was imported from the United States. Rail cars called hoppers brought the coal to the rail yards, where it was stored in this tower. The coal was lifted to the top using conveyor buckets and dropped into the locomotive tenders by gravity. The tower could serve two engines at once, even when positioned on different tracks.

In addition to coal, locomotives needed sand for traction and braking. Sand was dried using heaters, filtered, and blown into the tower using compressed air. This entire structure once stood about 600 feet west of its current location. In 1995, when the Metro Toronto Convention Centre expanded, the massive coal tower was moved to preserve its heritage—making it one of the heaviest single objects ever relocated in Canada.


The John Street Roundhouse is one of the few remaining roundhouses in Canada and a must-see stop for history and train enthusiasts!
