Between this station and Royal York Station to the east, the line exits the tunnel at the Montgomery Portal to cross Mimico Creek by bridge, and then returns underground at the Aberfoyle Portal.

A Mimico Station was built on the north side of the tracks just south of Mimico's Christ Church ( the first church in Etobicoke ) on the east side of Church St ( Royal York ) at the end of Windsor Street.
