Nostalgia & History > One more day, in Toronto that is. Part I

July 28, 1980


It was partly cloudy/sunny on the morning of our last full day in Toronto. This would change later that day. Anyway we headed down to the Spadina roundhouse area for the last time to catch what we could catch. Actually it was quite a bit, but it all looked the same so, so I will only post a few shots from there. Later we would take the subway and bus out to West Toronto.

#1 Here we are back on the Spadina St bridge for one last time. Ho hum. Well at least the sun is shining. Here we have a light engine move with to RS18’s and a GP9 lead by the CN 3128.

#2-3 This was followed shortly by GO 905 on a inbound commuter, and a inbound VIA train with three RDC’s.

#4-5 Next were the GO 514 and VIA 6541, both on inbound trains.

Then it was off to West Toronto

#6 Map. All trains shown were at or near the West Toronto crossing except the VIA Super Continental which was photographed at the next crossing east of there.

#7 CN 8234 heading south.

#8-9 CP 5579 making the turn and heading for Agincourt yard.

#10 CP 7020 on one of the many locals that ran in and out of Lambton yard.

#11 CP 8108 leaving the yard.

#12 CP 5659 heading towards the crossing from Agincourt.

Thanks for all the great shots, especially the earlier VIA and GO Transit equipment. Don't get many pictures of Canadian stuff.
