Caption: Operating on trackage but not in Toronto, TTC ICTS cars 3009 and 3008 operate at Urban Transit Development Corporation's Millhaven Ontario facility, running on the test track within the grounds (this appears to be at the south end of the property, along Taylor Kidd Blvd). Part of the new Intermediate Capacity Transit System (ICTS, in between a streetcar and subway) that crown corporation UTDC hoped would take hold (it didn't, outside of a few systems), the TTC bought into the government's new system in the early 1980's for their new Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) line, that would have otherwise been run using streetcar/LRV technology.

An orphan system over the years, the SRT line and equipment would be run beyond their lifespan due to political meddling for a replacement line: the Transit City LRT plan in place and fully funded that would have replaced the SRT was cancelled by new mayor Rob Ford in 2010 in favour of "subways subways subways" (which resulted in years of typical political squabbling around length, route, funding, costs), that years later still hasn't been built.

The SRT managed to cling to life until July 2023, when a derailment in service finally put the nail in the coffin and an end to the entire system in Toronto. Scarberians are now taking shuttle buses on the former RofW while construction for the line continues on, 16 years after the original replacement plan was cancelled. One old SRT car is preserved at the HCRY, while another is at the Toronto Zoo, and the bulk of the cars were sold to Detroit for reuse on their own ICTS "People Mover" system.
