Having two fleets with different equipment is nothing new - it was like that for decades in the subway and with streetcars. Between the overlap period of CLRVs with PCCs and then adding the ALRVs, there were three different types of cars running for several years. ALRVs and CLRVs had enough...

Good proposal to make the continuous walkway along the west side of the Allen; the property owner of the apartment buildings north of Eglinton fenced off the informal access through their property a few years ago, unless it's been re-opened since the last time I was there.

I think the axe has been axed. The tool cabinets appear to be empty on most cars now.

The tracks on Wellington between the curves at Church and Yonge date back to 1972, easily the oldest track on the system. The curves at Church were rebuilt in 1992, in both directions. Once all the work on Wellington is done, the only reason not to run streetcars will be the perennial shortage...

During a previous construction project on Wellington 503 has also run (with streetcars) as wb on King to York, then looping via York, Queen and Church back to eastbound King.

4590 and 4592 appear to be tracking on 510 and 504 respectively this morning.

And between the cars out for re-welding, flood cars, collision victims and cars crippled waiting for parts, account for another 15 cars currently out of service.

The wheel may ride up on the ice and off the rails. A CLRV derailed this way back in the mid 1990s at Coxwell & Lower Gerrard and the back end almost went through the windows of the Dollarama.

4588 is tracking on 504 this morning.

The CTA PCC rapid transit cars were the original concept for what was proposed for the Yonge Subway, that concept evolved into something that looked less like a boxy streetcar and more like a subway car (see the old Boston Blue Line cars or the old Cleveland rapid transit cars). The Gloucester...

The museum land was purchased by the founding members pooling some of their own money, they were looking for a site to store the two cars they were fortunate to be preserving. The TSR right of way land was available for back taxes, which was pretty much all they could afford at the time. It...

If he's leading the tribe it's no wonder it's lost!

That's more like it. The Bay Concourse was Happy New Year 1983.

4402 is still tracking at Leslie but hasn't been in service for months now. Is it on hold to be the next car shipped out for re-welding? Seems odd that they would hold it out of service just for that. I wonder if it has some other issues. Or is it gone and we're just seeing the GPS unit? Anyone...

One benefit of the Google photos is the increasing cache of past images going back to the first Streetview runs. Some of these have come in handy when we were looking at houses that have been recently demolished and rebuilt, in a few cases the old houses were captured by Google shortly before...

So why were the Ford gang saying that the situation is so dire if your numbers show him to be the "best Premier ever"?

Thanks for the info! I will add this to the back of the photo. Much appreciated!

Can anyone place this photo? Weston Road streetcar, 1948 at the latest, signed up Dundas so if it's correct we're looking north at the Acme Aluminum Foundry. I took a close look at the building and there's "429" above the sign. It looks like this would be north of Rogers based on the current...

You're welcome. The south side is much more interesting, that's what drew your eye no doubt!

That or calling in a bomb threat
