Strathroy railway station in Strathroy-Caradoc, Ontario, Canada is a flag stop station for Via Rail trains running from Toronto west to Sarnia. The station is wheelchair accessible. It has an enclosed, non heated shelter and used to be opened 1 hour before and 1 hour after trains. The station is rarely opened now due to high levels of vandalism. Two trains service Strathroy daily, VIA 84 (eastbound) at 06:59 and VIA 87 (westbound) at 21:37. Reservations are required 40 minutes in advance in order for a train to stop at this station.[1]

The International Limited was operated jointly by Via Rail and Amtrak between Chicago and Toronto. The service, which had started in 1982, was discontinued in 2004.[2]
