A Lot Of History

 

This is a picture of Yonge Street in Toronto from 1954.  Just south of Davisville Ave, which is south of Eglinton Ave.

What's interesting about this is

1) there is a train going over what is now a pedestrian bridge. but was then a main CNR bridge

2) some old cars

3) subway cars along the right belonging to Toronto new, but unopened subway system, and

4) and middle left, chugging up Yonge St, an Toronto streetcar from Toronto's old (circa 1890) streetcar system, obviously still in operation.

So, four different modes of transportation all together in one picture. 

71 Years Later.....

A lot more character 71 years ago.

Maybe this will help.....
