Description
History
Built in the mid-1930's by Malton Rail, the Bayley Row Station was half of a small local inner-suburb commuter hub. Along with Cardwell Plaza Railway Station it mainly provided commuter service within Richmond Hills itself, as well as to Norvell Avenue Railway Station to the North in Eastonwood and Blunt Boulevard Railway Station to the East in Ketchelbank, which in turn provided the closest public rail service to the Malton City Zoo.
While mainly dealing with commuter travel, a single line also connected Bayley Row to the freight hub at Lea Boulevard Railway Station in Northwestern Richmond Hills. Rail service in Richmond Hills was reorganized into the current configuration in the 1970's.
