The Canada Southern Railway Station (CASO) is a former railway station in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. The station was built by the Canada Southern Railway (CSR)[nb 1] in 1873 as both a railway station and its corporate headquarters.[2][3] It was one of the busiest stations in Canada during the 1920s.[2] Train traffic ceased in the 1980s.[4]

CASO became a protected heritage building in the late-1980s and was purchased by the North America Railway Hall of Fame (NARHF) in 2005.[1]
