Actually it was Lavalin pre-SNC.

Sure they will, several almost-ready to run streetcars will be rolled off the rails at Hillcrest on December 31 so they can say that they made the delivery deadline. The fact that those cars will take months to get on the road in service is a different story.

Yes, since the TTC has so many technicians just sitting around on their ass doing nothing (all that waste that he's looking for) that can just put down whatever they're doing and fix broken AC units. The HVAC systems require dedicated or at least specially trained techs, and if the units are...

And when things get hot .. ."we're the victims of a bomb threat!"

Fixed that for you.

One of the news stories showed 4156 in front of 4404, not sure if this was the disabled car or not, but in any case how much debris was in the rail to make a CLRV or an ALRV "an immovable object"? The flangeway isn't that large and unless it was a piece of rock a streetcar should be able to push...

Yeah, 'cuz the Sun and Postmedia are doing SO much better and they supported Ford!

With the heat and humidity going strong, here's something to cool things down: the great storm of 1944. Not sure where this is although I have a couple of other pictures from the College & Bay area so I'm guessing it's further west on College St with the three-storey commercial buildings. If...

He's quoted in the Star that he'll be reminding councillors that "money doesn't grow on trees" and then goes on to support subways, the most expensive form of transit. Ford Logic!

Bay & Dundas I believe, looking west, sometime between 1948 and 1953, taken from the Ford Hotel.

Thanks! That's it.

Happy days are here again! The dauphin has been elected. Let's see if he says anything at Council or just keeps the Ford throne warm for Doug.

Ok sleuths, this one has stumped me and a friend who checked the former trolley coach routes. Four lane street with grassy boulevards and substantial houses. I thought Annette around High Park but no. My friend thought Mt. Pleasant but couldn't place it. The scene is from January 1972 and the...

You mean WEST of Yonge? EAST of Yonge already has new poles. There were old poles on the north side west of Yonge sitting on the edge of the Hudson Bay basement.

Between the early morning signal problems and all the service adjustments (read: delays) I received no less than 50 Lakeshore West Service Alert emails through the course of the day! Almost every peak train was delayed in the morning and in the afternoon there were numerous "operational...

TODAY is Day 1 of service on the 514. Yesterday was the ceremonial opening with only one trip.

Has anyone seen which sets were out specifically? Thanks!
