A matching set of Montreal Locomotive Works-built C424's (CP 4216 leading 4207, 4204, 4209 and 4222) sit tied-down on the head end of their train at the south end of Kinnear Yard, nearly ready to depart down the Hamilton Sub with an acid train. Originally built in the mid 60's as road freight units and later rebuilt in the early 1980's for roadswitcher work, power-short CP kept their fleet of 4-axle C424 "Centuries" in service well into the 90's until the last few retired in 1998. I'm not sure if Bill and Reg Button were chasing this train together, but Reg managed to shoot it further down the line at both <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=38098><b>Brookfield</b></a> and <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=38939><b>outside of Niagara Falls</b></a>. <br><br> <i>Bill McArthur photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide</i>

Some more 70's automotive iron for the enthusiasts: TTC A7-class PCC 4474 operates on a westbound Carlton run heading northbound up McCaul Street at Orde Street, passing by a selection of 70's automotives (can anyone ID them all?) parked streetside in front of a row of old houses (which are, unbelievably, all still present in <a href=https://www.google.com/maps/@43.6580278,-79.3930033,3a,75y,191.15h,89.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scLJaE_aVJggQAYrX--wSOQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192><b>2020 Streetview imagery!</b></a>). The Carlton route PCC is possibly on a detour or short turn via Dundas & McCaul to College, where it will continue westbound to <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=31095><b>High Park Loop</b></a>. Visible in the background partially obscured by trees is the new CN Tower. Construction had largely been completed by now, but the tower itself would not yet open to the public for another year.

VIA 6790 and a sister FPA4 thunder over the Port Hope viaduct, handling a sizable VIA train from Toronto eastbound over the Kingston Sub. The stone abutment viaduct around Mile 270 of CN's Kingston Sub was built by CN predecessor Grand Trunk in the 1850's to span the Ganaraska River and harbour area. One can see two sets of crossbucks along Hayward Street below for industrial spurs off CN's Port Hope Town Spur that accessed the harbourfront industries to the south (including the Eldorado Nuclear Limited uranium conversion facility, that had sidings off the harbourfront and to the west). CP's Belleville Sub crosses over the adjacent viaduct in the background.<br><br>While the 6-axle PA1 was regarded as Alco's "Glamour Girl" flagship model, the Canadian-built 4-axle MLW FPA4 and FPB4 units were real passenger workhorses, and enjoyed long careers hauling mainline passenger trains on CN and later VIA (long after most of their US Alco FA/PA conterparts were retired) until retirement in the late 80's. Many US shortlines and tourist railroads scooped them up, being more modern 251-powered units, well maintained, and a stylish facsimile of the US-built Alco units that had been, for the most part, retired and scrapped years ago.<br><br><i>Dennis Nehrenz photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.</i>

With a cloud of blue smoke kicking up from the brakeshoes of trailing hoppers, CN SD40 units 5029 and 5020 lead an eastbound on the descent downgrade between Rexdale and Weston on the Weston Sub, crossing over the high bridge spanning the Humber River just outside of Weston. This is possibly the "Limehouse Turn", coming from the Indusmin quarry on the Guelph Sub near Acton. The crew didn't get the benefit of dynamic brakes with these units, but timetables state that from Halwest to West Toronto (eastbound) a single 5000-series SD40 was good for 6450 tons. Westbound, factoring in the ruling grade up to Rexdale, the tonnage rating was cut to only 3600 tons per SD40. <br><br>In the background, one can see some of the apartment buildings off Islington Avenue north of Dixon, and Islington overpass off in the distance. This single-track bridge over the Humber River at Mile 9.4 (formerly "CN McGill") was built by the Grand Trunk Railway in the 1850's when the line was originally constructed as the Brampton Sub (becoming the Weston Sub in 1965). It also spanned over part of the Weston Golf & Country Club's course below, who had a private grade crossing to the west for golf carts. GO Transit purchased the Weston Sub from CN in 2009, and in 2012-2013 the abutments here were expanded and new spans were added to quad-track the bridge (4 mainline tracks!) for increased GO and UPX passenger train service over the line (click <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=40445><b>here</b></a> for a present-day image of the line by Michael Da Costa showing the bridge in the background).<br><br><i>Barry Schroeder photo, Dan Dell'Unto slide collection</i>

Three-year old TTC CLRV 4062 heads west on Fleet Street west of Bathurst on a Rt.521 Exhibition East run for the CNE's Exhibition Loop, passing by the looming Molson's Brewery plant on Fleet Street. Part of Toronto's at-the-time new fleet of modern CLRV streetcars, 4062 would enjoy a nearly 35 year career until it was retired in 2015 after a collision with a bus. The old streetcar fleet was on the way out for new Bombardier-built cars, so any heavy repairs weren't on the books.<br><br>The Molson Fleet Street Brewery was built in 1955 near Toronto's harbourfront and expanded in the 1970's. It was served by rail off CPR's old "Wharf Lead" (ex-TG&B) that ran south from Parkdale through Liberty Village. Information suggests the plant closed in 1989 due to a company reorganization following the merger between Molson and Carling O'Keefe. In the years following, the mothballed plant was used for TV and movie shoots. There were plans to turn it into a telecommunications hub building, but they fell through, and the plant was eventually demolished in 2006 for new condo towers.<br><br><i>William Madden photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.</i>

A warm spring evening finds freshly painted CP FP7 4069 leading RS10 8568 northbound on Train #11, the Toronto-Sudbury portion of "The Canadian" as they cross over the busy Highway 7 bridge and head north into the town of Woodbridge. #11's previous stop was at West Toronto around 5:30pm, but since Woodbridge's station closed in May 1968 the train won't be stopping for passengers again until Alliston. CP's 4066-4075-series dual service freight/passenger FP7 units and steam generator-equipped RS10's were regular power on the Toronto-Sudbury consists at this time. Behind them are two old lightweight steel baggage cars still sporting older maroon letterbands, while the rest of the train are stainless steel Budd cars in modern action red "CP Rail" paint (CP repainted all of its Budd equipment relatively quickly in 1969, but older steel cars often sported maroon letterbands many years after). Note the typical "Skyline" and "Park" dome cars in consist. CP's premier transcontinental passenger train continued to use this routing until VIA took over in 1978 and switched it to running on CN's lines out of Toronto.<br><br>One can make out CN's Halton Sub in the background (note their <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=39078><b>high bridge over the Humber River</b></a>, and the second bridge where the CP MacTier Sub ducked under the line). The train is running on CP's MacTier Subdivision, which was originally the Toronto Grey and Bruce Railway line between Toronto and Bolton (constructed in 1869-1870 as a narrow-gauge line), later coming under control of the Grand Trunk Railway (who standard-gauged the line in 1881) and soon after coming under Canadian Pacific Railway control (via CP's Ontario & Quebec Railway). This part of the line however wasn't original to the TG&B.<br><br>Time for some local Woodbridge history: the original TG&B alignment through Woodbridge ran through town to the west (branching off to the right where the signal is in the background), but was shifted eastward to this present alignment in 1907 under CP (this involved constructing a new high bridge over the Humber River to the south, and changing the alignment through town including a bridge over Pine Street (today's Woodbridge Ave.)). The old TG&B alignment became a short spur branching south from the station, which lasted into at least the 1980's to serve local industries (there's a segment of rail visible in the parking lot behind Nino D'Aversa Bakery downtown).<br><br>However, automobiles and horse-drawn carriages continued to cross the CP line here at Highway 7 (then known as MacKenzie Avenue) at-grade, after climbing a winding hill ("Horner's Hill") to the southeast that looped up from the south end of present-day Wallace Avenue to cross the tracks (I believe the old level crossing would have been where the first or second baggage car is today) and continued on what is the present-day stub road MacKenzie Avenue. A large grade separation project undertaken in 1929-1931 saw a new roadway excavated down to run underneath the rail line and the present bridge built, eliminating the jog in the road, the hill and the level crossing. Highway 7 was widened here in 1961, but the old circa 1930 bridge constrains busy Highway 7 to only four lanes of traffic between Kipling and Islington.<br><br><i>Charles "Chuck" O.

"On this day..." 19 years ago, smoke has brought some of the locals out to check on the action trackside: a freight lead by CP SW1200RS units 1271, 8161 and 8156 is stopped near Aberdeen Yard, by the site of the former TH&B Chatham Street shops as 8156 "burns up" (caught on fire) on a warm August day in 2001. The little SW1200RS units originally built in the 1950's for branchline use still held down some local and yard work, but because of their diminutive size it was common in later years to see them working in pairs or trios. By this time they were on their way out, and their numbers continued to dwindle until the last few stragglers were sold off by CP in 2013.<br><br>During its final years on CP, 1271 was the only active SW1200RS in the Toronto area, and regularly assigned to Peterborough as the local switcher there (it was sold to GMTX in 2012).<br><br><i>Bill McArthur photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.</i>

A pair of MLW-built FPA4's lead by CN 6763 rest along the platforms at Ottawa Station on a sunny afternoon, as their head-end crew walks away from the power after finishing their run (probably on a Toronto-Ottawa train). Further back, an attendant can be seen handling baggage out of the trailing baggage car. On the left, one of CN's little MLW switchers (probably an S4 in the 8030-series) handles the consist of the train in the adjacent track. <br><br>Less than a decade old, this "new" Ottawa station off Trembley Road was the result of a move to relocate Ottawa's main Union Station from its previous downtown location (along the Rideau Canal and opposite Chateau Laurier) to a new one further away. A new building was built and opened in August 1966, and the old station downtown was closed and the trackage along the Rideau Canal accessing it were removed, all part of an early urban renewal effort aimed at relocating the trains out of the downtown Ottawa area.<br><br>Built in 1959, CN FPA4 6763 spent only a few years in its original yellow and green livery before being repainted into the sharp zebra stripe livery under the new corporate "CN" image of the early 1960's, which it wore until being repainted in VIA colours sometime around 1977. After the FPA4/FPB4 fleet was retired from VIA in the late 80's, 6763 and seven other VIA FA/FB's were purchased by the Windsor & Hantsport for parts in 1995. All ended up being resold, and 6763 under several owners made its way to the Danbury Railroad Museum, but is presently stored in old faded VIA colours in the deadline on the Delaware Lackawanna Railway in Scranton PA (the museum has two other FPA4/FPB4 units restored in the CN 1960's livery).<br><br><i>Original photographer unknown, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide (processing date stamped July-1973, but believed to be a Summer 1972 image developed late)</i>

A traffic downturn in the mid-1970's caused CP to return a lot of its leased power, and park or retire some of its own older units. This ultimately spelled the end of CP's Alco/MLW FA/FB units, and the entire Fairbanks-Morse/Canadian Locomotive Company fleet. In March 1975, the remaining active C-liners and H16-44's were all rounded up en masse from their outposts in Nelson, Cranbrook and Lethbridge, and sent to Ogden Shops in Calgary for storage and to meet an uncertain fate. Most ended up like 8709 here - cut up for scrap. The FM opposed-piston engines out of many were resold to a marine equipment company in Houston TX for marine use, and CP salvaged various common components as spares to use in their MLW fleet, including the GE 752 traction motors, wheels, bearings, axle sets and air compressors.
<br><br>
By that time, the <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=40661><b>final three "Train Master" H24-66 units</b></a> had been assigned to the Alyth hump, and lasted a few months longer before they too were parked.

<b>VIA units pulling freight on the old TH&B:</b> During CP's lease-anything-that-runs era in the 90's, Reg Button was out on a cold February morning in 1995 to catch a rather odd lashup: CP SD40-2 5679 leading GP9u's 8239 and 8236, that are bracketing a pair of leased VIA F40PH-2 passenger units (VIA 6451 & 6449). They're seen at the head-end of CP train #526, cresting the climb up the Niagara Escarpment on CP's Hamilton Sub at Vinemount.
<br><br>
At one point amid all the rent-a-wrecks and lease units CP had running around the system, they had eight surplus VIA F40's running around in freight service, working all sorts of locals, turns, wayfreights and mainline trains with CP power (mostly in the Toronto/southern Ontario area, and the Windsor-Toronto-Montreal corridor).

After finishing up their duties further up the line, CN GP9's 4520 and 4515 head south on the southwest leg of CN's GECO Spur (or GECO Branch) in Scarborough, coming around the bend at Milne Ave. crossing while enroute back to the Kingston Sub with a lone caboose in tow. <br><br> As mentioned in a <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=34884><b>previous photo</b></a>, the CN's GECO Branch/Spur was constructed to serve the "Golden Mile" area of Scarborough during the post-war industrial boom, as the area formerly inhabited by a World War 2 munitions plant transitioned to domestic manufacturing, and the surrounding farmer's fields were gobbled up by the urban sprawl of the growing Scarborough suburbs. Part of the line was partially built over the old abandoned Canadian Northern right-of-way (that ran north of CN's ex-GTR Kingston Sub). Industrial decline and gentrification in the 90's/2000's resulted in a lot of the factories being redeveloped into neighbourhoods, commercial plazas and townhouses, the loss of rail customers, and today only a portion of the GECO Spur remains to serve the few remaining rail customers. This portion from the Kingston Sub to near the TTC's <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=35183><b>Warden Subway Station</b></a> has been removed and the land sold off. <br><br> <i>Mike Mastin photo, Dan Dell'Unto slide collection.</i>

TTC 4560 (an A-9 class PCC streetcar, part of a group of 1947-built cars that the TTC acquired secondhand from Cincinnati in 1950) is seen operating on a fantrip, posed on Hillside Wye for a photo op. New CLRV streetcar deliveries were on the horizon, and that meant retirement for much of the TTC's secondhand PCC fleet. Despite this, the old car had been given a thorough spit-and-polish cleaning by shop forces prior to its outing (note the lack of typical winter road grime buildup).
<br><br>
The Hillside Wye was a short on-street wye located on Hillside Avenue north of Lakeshore Blvd W. in Mimico, according to <a href=https://transittoronto.ca/spare/0017.shtml><b>Transit Toronto</b></a> first coming into existence in 1928 after a reconstruction of the old Toronto & Mimico radial railway line for the city's Lake Shore streetcar service. It managed to survive (although very rarely used) until removal in 2002. The Mount Pleasant route exposure (destination Eglinton loop) is a little out of place for Mimico, but the exposures for the short-lived Mount Pleasant route were still in the roller blinds and might have made for a neat photo here.
<br><br>
The 1970's Pontiac Grand Prix parked curbside sports some original A-series license plates (AOU 381 in this case), first dating from 1973 when Ontario switched to the fixed ownership license plate system still in use today (the plates didn't have to be replaced yearly like years prior, and were tied to the owner of the vehicle).

A warm summer's day out finds TTC PCC 4503 (an A8-class car built by CC&F in 1951, the newest PCCs in the fleet) heading southbound on Oakwood Avenue in service on the Rogers Road route, passing a young woman waiting at the stop opposite for a northbound Rt.63 Ossington trolleybus. The Rogers Road streetcar service had but weeks until its final day of operation on July 19th, and subsequent replacement with trolleybuses.<br><br>Note that some passengers aboard 4503 have the "old fashioned air conditioning" on full blast (fun fact: aside from experimental cars, the TTC streetcar fleet would only get traditional air conditioning starting in the 2010's, with the arrival of the new Bombardier LRV streetcars. The PCC fleet, and later CLRV/ALRV cars were non-air conditioned).<br><br>The US-based Electric Railroaders Association held their convention in Toronto on July 5-6-7th 1974, and many visiting and local transit/rail enthusiasts (including Tom Dorsey, a US-based transit photographer) attended a series of fantrips organized over the three day period, including one using two TTC trolleybuses (on July 5th), a <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=37233><b>GO Transit fantrip over parts of CN</b></a> (July 6th), and a multiple TTC PCC streetcar fantrip (July 7th).<br><br><i>Tom Dorsey photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.</i><br><br><i>(A photo by Robert McMann along St. Clair on the same day: <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=40006><b>http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=40006</b></a>).</i>

Rain or shine, sun or snow: on this snowy winter's day, Reg Button was out to capture a photo of Conrail train FT-1 (Frontier-Toronto) heading eastbound through Bayview Junction on CN's Oakville Sub, bound for CP trackage at Canpa and on to Toronto (Agincourt) Yard. Power today is Conrail GP38 8113, U33B 2906 (both in patched Penn Central paint), and GP35 3628 (patched but still in former owner Reading's colours). While visibility was less than ideal, the latter unit probably made braving the cold and wintry elements worth it.

CP SD40 5408 (ex-QNS&L 212, acquired by CP secondhand in 1985) comes into view on the old Michigan Central bridge over traffic on the Niagara Parkway north of Park Street, leading CP 5560, 5563, and 5520 on a westbound entering Canada after crossing over from the states via the giant steel arch bridge over the Niagara River. Notes by Reg indicate this was a reroute due to "Indians", so presumably a local indigenous group blockade somewhere (US or Canada?) forced some extra traffic to detour through downtown Niagara Falls and over the old MCRR/CASO line (that had become part of CP's Hamilton Sub in the mid-80's).<br><br>The bridge here over the roadway remains today, unused, despite the line being removed through downtown Niagara Falls in 2001. The bridge in the background carries CN's Grimsby Sub from VIA's nearby Niagara Falls station into the US via the Niagara Whirlpool Bridge.<br><br><i>Reg Button photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.</i>

Prior to the famed CPR Tripleheader fantrip of Sunday May 1st 1960, a doubleheader was run on the Saturday before (April 30th) on the Galt Sub, from Toronto to Cooksville and back (fully within yard limits) with just 4-4-0 136 and D10 4-6-0 815. The pair are pictured here with their train, sitting over the ash pit at Lambton Roundhouse in Toronto as fantrip attendees stretch their legs and get some photos in. 815 trailing appears to be taking on water in her tender. The Alco/MLW FA's on the ready tracks nearby hint that the first few months of 1960 were the final hurrah for Canadian steam in regular operation, and Lambton roundhouse itself would be made redundant by the diesel and demolished months later in October 1960. The coal tower in the distance would be pulled down by diesel switchers a few years later.<br><br>According to Ray Kennedy (the organizer of this fantrip and the subsequent one) the consist on this day was round roof baggage 4329, two steel coaches, two wooden coaches, and wooden combine-baggage 3262 (previously used on branchline mixed trains, and specially brought to Toronto).<br><br>On the left, a conveyor transports ash (dumped out of steam locomotive fireboxes) from the ash pit into a CP 369000-series Hart convertible gondola spotted on the adjacent track. This car type was popular in the steam era for hauling ballast, fill, and other materials. Often, a Lidgerwood winch car would be used to pull a plow through the insides of the cars in order to "dump" (push) the ballast out the sides. Conventional bottom-dumping ballast hoppers and air-operated side dumps replaced them for the most part.<br><br><i>Original photographer unknown, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.</i>

CN SW1200RS 1242 is looking a little bit rough late in its career on CN, and is slowly reverting from the black and red noodle scheme into its original as-built factory green paint, showing through under the faded black (hood), red (cab), and primer red paint. 1242 would be retired the next year in 1991, and resold to Independent Locomotive Services (ILSX). Over the last few recent years, it has worked as an industrial switcher at Strata Corporation in Trail MN, as BGSX 1242.<br><br><i>Ori Siegel photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide. </i>

On a nippy Winter's morning, the sun rises over an almost empty Davisville Yard. Most of the subway trains normally stored here are out and about providing morning rush-hour service on the Yonge line. A pair of red Gloucester "Red Rocket" G1 subway cars, 5052 & 5053, sit near the shop building awaiting servicing - the original Toronto subway cars dating from the Yonge line's opening in March 1954. In the background, a newer set of MLW-built M1 subway cars sit on one of the yard tracks near the CN Belt Line bridge.

CP SD40 5553 and RS18 1807 lead the London Pickup as it heads west on the Galt Sub through Milton, passing over Bronte Street crossing at the west end of town. Reg's vantage point here was no doubt the CN Halton Sub embankment. Someone at Agincourt Yard must have given the 5553 a good spit and polish cleaning, as it has a nice gleam to it in the morning light. The two CP script covered hoppers at the head end add a nice touch.<br><br><i>Reg Button photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection.</i>
