Caption: TTC PCC 4115 (part of the original 4000-4139 A1-class PCC order, built by CC&F in 1938) climbs the grade up Bloor Street West at Mountview Avenue, just west of Keele, in August 1964. Construction on the original Bloor-Danforth subway line is well underway, marked in this photo by wood constuction scaffolding at Keele Subway station visible in the distance. This portion of the Bloor streetcar line (Keele to Jane Loop) would surive the initial Keele to Warden B-D subway opening in February 1966, but service would be discontinued in May 1968 and the tracks removed after the western extension to Islington station opened.
