That's a good question. I have no idea how it got that name. Certainly, it never carried that name before Metrolinx came along. The tracks belonged to the Toronto Harbour Commission with CP and CN having joint access.

It had always been called TRHC's Wilson Yard. It seemed like it was for more long-term storage, with Keating Yard being their main hub.

As for the reasoning behind the name, I have no idea why.

I’m on an errand to Aurora, and looking at the new platform construction at Maple. The bases for what must be future OCS poles are inplace on the platform…..but their placement sure seems bizarre. I’m all for function over beauty, but putting the poles in the middle of the platform will make things look junky when the wires arrive - IMHO anyways.

Looks like there will be crossovers just north of the platform….but one would hope the double track is extended all the way south to Rutherford, enabling ise of both platforms there.
