Original Toronto Star caption: The bank that was robbed becomes a part of the lower lobby of Union Station when six glass doors slide aside to open it for business. It is on the north side of the lobby; immediately west of the tunnels to the Royal York Hotel and to GO trains; Police and officials of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce don't say how much money was on hand; but they don't deny estimates of more than $300;000.
