Goods and people train travel in Quebec and Ontario was a everyday activity and need before trucking overtook the movement of goods ready for further processing and those ready for consumer market. The railroads retained as they do today major bulk and heavy materials, and very long haul freight.
The Junction serves the movement of material and goods even today, with a yard run from a purpose built building at Runnymede Rd, and Ryding Ave.
