After departing our final station stop before downtown Toronto, we're picking up speed on the jointed rail stretch of the Weston Sub between Bloor GO (in the distance) and CN Parkdale on the home stretch to Union Station, zipping under the Dundas Street West overpass on the way out of West Toronto. The northbound advance signals to the diamond at West Toronto are visible on this side of the bridge, that was undergoing some rehabilitation work at the time (including a new handrail recently installed).

The track on the left is the double track CP Galt Sub running parallel down the rail corridor, this location being known as CP Dundas in employee timetables. On the right, CP's old TG&B "Bruce Service Track" (now removed) once used to duck under the bridge and go to the Compressed Metals scrapyard just south of Dundas. The track continued out the other side as a CN siding (see middle of 1971 aerial here). On the north side of the bridge to the right is the Nestle chocolate factory, once home to Cowan's Chocolates, off Sterling Road (apparently sugar from Redpath downtown was shipped here via hoppers). Just a stone's throw away, the Newmarket Sub ducked under Dundas below its own bridge.

To the left in the distance are the two towers of The Crossways Mall at Bloor and Dundas.

The northbound advance signals to the diamond at West Toronto are visible on this side of the bridge, that was undergoing some rehabilitation work at the time (including new railings recently installed).

We're on the south (west) track of the double track CN Weston Sub. The tracks on the left are the double track CP Galt Sub running parallel down the rail corridor, this location being known as CP Dundas in employee timetables. On the right, CP's old TG&B "Bruce Service Track" (now removed) once used to duck under the bridge and go to the Compressed Metals scrapyard just south of Dundas. The track continued out the other side as a CN siding off the Newmarket Sub (see middle of 1971 aerial here). On the north side of the bridge to the right is the Nestle chocolate factory, once home to Rowantree Chocolates, off Sterling Road (apparently sugar from Redpath downtown was shipped here via hoppers). Just a stone's throw away, the Newmarket Sub ducked under Dundas below its own bridge.
