Québec City's Château-style station, built in 1915 — the first union station in the province and, after the Château Frontenac, the city's best example of the style. A Heritage Railway Station of Canada since June 4, 1992, and still the city's working VIA Rail station, on its unusual Y-shaped plan in the Lower Town.
