Comments on: A streetside view of Toronto Union Station along Front Street back in the summer of 1975, back when you could still catch CP’s The Canadian or CN’s Super Continental out of downtown Toronto, catch the Turbo Train to Montreal eastbound, go inside to the Maple Room or the Oak Room for a meal, rent a car from Tilden, catch a TTC “Red Rocket” downstairs or mosey on over to CP Hotel’s Royal York across the street. Steam heating to Union, the Royal York, John Street Roundhouse and many nearby downtown buildings was still provided by the Toronto Terminal Railway’s Central Heating Plant.Note the dial “Canadian Pacific” and “Canadian National” ownership lettering above each entrance. A new attraction in the form of the CN Tower is nearly complete in the distance, not set to open for another year. A blue Toronto Star delivery van is parked among the sea of colourful 70′s land yachts and American iron out front, making the daily delivery of those old paper information things called newspapers.Original photographer unknown, Dan Dell’Unto collection slide.

Neat, and track one was reserved for the exclusive use by the Turbo, also CN Tempo trains to south west Ontario, and in the Union’s lower concourse was the GO Train terminal… and when was the last time anyone saw three green vehicles in the same photo? at left Green Ford Maverick, Green Dodge Dart, Arnold’s fave, and oh that ugly green Fiat!… and that cab is a Dodge Monaco or Plymouth Fury

It’s never too late to go searching for another Cougar, Arnold.

A historical gem for me is that 1971 (or 72) Mercury Cougar XR-7 right smack in the middle of the image. I sure miss mine. ) It would really move.
