Description:

Buttcon Limited completed the modernization of VIA Rail Canada’s Toronto Maintenance Centre, a major infrastructure project supporting VIA Rail’s Corridor Fleet Replacement Program.
The modernized facility was designed to support the maintenance of VIA Rail’s 32 new trainsets, while continuing to service its existing fleet and strengthen long-term passenger rail operations.

The project includes:

  • Construction of new buildings and upgrades to existing structures
  • Track installation and realignment
  • Specialized facilities and systems supporting fueling, de-icing, washing, servicing, and inspections
  • Enhanced staff amenities and office spaces
  • Sustainable design targeting LEED Silver certification for sustainable design
  • Infrastructure designed to support future operational needs and expansion

The modernization transformed the Toronto Maintenance Centre into a more advanced and efficient maintenance hub, bringing together upgraded infrastructure, specialized equipment, and improved operational spaces.
With the project now complete, the facility is positioned to support VIA Rail’s next generation of passenger rail service and the continued evolution of rail infrastructure in Canada.
