Missing Something?
Author: Blackfoot

Over the years I've seen everything from smashed-up number boards to handwritten ones, but yesterday was the first time I saw a missing one.  Train 101 westbound near Mt Pleasant Road, Toronto.

Happy Fathers Day,
Dwayne

Went home in the grip when the number matched the house address! LOL!

I've never seen that precise location before; where is it relative to the old station/LCBO on Yonge St.? Nice curve.

It's about a half mile or so east of the old North Toronto station Fred.  Attached is an older picture taken from pretty much the exact same spot, but looking in the opposite direction.  The bridge over Mt Pleasant Road is in the immediate foreground, followed by the large bridge over Yellow Creek, and then the clock tower of the old station in the background.  The rotting plywood to the left is CP's answer to fixing the deteriorating railings on the bridge over Mt Pleasant Road, and judging by the width of these two bridges I assume there was a third track here at one time leading into the station.
