Caption: TTC PCC 4097 (part of the original A1-class order of TTC PCC's built by CC&F in 1938-1940) heads southbound on Roncesvalles Avenue at Fern Avenue on an eastbound King streetcar run on a sunny July morning in 1965. Various small shops mix with residential houses along the street, advertising for such things as CIL paints and IDA Drugs.

At the time, eastbound King cars departed Vincent Loop (the off-street loop east of Dundas & Edna, pre-Dundas West Subway Station), headed down Dundas and Roncesvalles (shown here) to the Sunnyside area, took King Street east from Queen to Broadview Avenue, and Broadview up to Erindale Loop at Broadview & Erindale Ave. A few months later, service to Erindale Loop would end and be replaced by the new Broadview Subway Station's loop on the under-construction Bloor-Danforth subway line. Vincent Loop would be replaced in February by the new Dundas West Subway Station loop.
