History
Previous names Canadian National Railway

Willowbrook Yard is a rail yard and maintenance facility in Toronto, Canada.

It was originally a Canadian National Railway facility. It was purchased by GO Transit in the early 1970s. Since then, it has undergone a complete transformation and expansion and it includes several repair shops as well as washing facilities and storage tracks. Bombardier Transportation currently has a 5-year contract with two options of five years each to maintain the trains.

The yard is west of Mimico station and is across the main tracks from the VIA Rail Toronto Maintenance Facility.
