It won't be a hub like Chicago, but I'm not so sure that the historic maps are a good indicator of who the riders would be today. Per the Toronto website, their population has grown by almost 2.5 times since the 50's:
In 1901, the City of Toronto's population was 208,040. The geographic area that is now [[2006) occupied by the City of Toronto was 238,080.
In 1951, the City of Toronto's population was 675,754. The geographic area that is now [[2006) occupied by the City of Toronto was 1,117,470.The suburban boom had started, increasing the population outside the city.
In 2001, the population of the amalgamated City of Toronto was 2,841,500.I think the question will be, will those people take the train to Chicago, or fly?
