After Amtrak's International rolled through & prior to the Exhibition Stadium Blue Jay game GO specials, mid morning Sunday traffic was quiet,  


Note the markers on GO Cab #200, the train powered by GMD 1978 built F40PH (510-515 ++ series), 


and those GO Bi-Levels are eight years young (and why VIA never bought a version modified for inter city travel...)


At the upper left, the new GO train layover tracks adjacent to Front Street, 


and what else: 


the newly completely rail over rail by passes (and removed  to accommodate: the never in service TTR Bathurst Street Tower), 


Spadina wash racks, coal / sand towers,  Budd cars, CN 8500 series MLW 1959 built S-13, Tempo Trains, LRC motive power & coaches,  and a whole pile of ex CNR CC&F built 'blue' coaches, sleepers, meal service / lounges ( cafe, diners etc )


A Simpler Era at Bathurst Street, Nikon F2A  (no battery required) with a Nikkor 35mm  f2.8 lens, June 2, 1985 Kodachrome by S.Danko



 ++ Per Trackside Guide: the F40PH”s to Amtrak in 1990 where they had  similar careers, retired by 2002 with Amtrak #415 (GO 515) to the Panama Canal #1861 in 2001 !
