Via Rail's Toronto Maintenance Centre is a railway yard in the western end of Toronto, which stores and services Via trains and refuels trains from many operators. It lies directly south of the GO Transit Willowbrook Yard, on the other side of the former CN mainline, today's Lakeshore West line. The yard is bisected by the Islington Avenue flyover bridge and is accessed through several entrances on New Toronto Street on the south, while the offices are located at 50 Drummond Street on the eastern side. The west end of the yard retains an operational railway turntable. A large turnaround wye has been constructed out of a industrial spur on the eastern side that formerly served the Campbell Soup Company plant.
