There is a general perception that Toronto had little or no commuter
train service prior to the inception of GO Transit in 1967. Canadian
National maintained two rush hour trains in each direction between
Toronto and Hamilton until GO began.

Also there was a commuter train out to Guelph each night until GO began and service was cut back to Georgetown. Not to be forgotten was the commuter train that operated to Barrie which was cut back to Bradford when GO took over the service. This service was originally set up as a private operation operated by CN.
