Railpictures.ca - Cameron Lonsdale Photo: This view looks east towards the west end of Toronto Union Station in August of 1985 – what a puzzle of tracks indeed. Two of the then ubiquitous S-13 switchers are hard at work bringing passenger equipment to and from the coach yards to Union Station. Note the signs on the right for the CN Tower and the “Top of Toronto.” The restaurant name was changed to the “360 Restaurant” a decade later in April of 1995. All of this area has been completely changed. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

The open air walkway of the convention center on the left was accessible in these days. I worked on King Street around this time and would watch the coming and goings from this viewpoint.
