Comments on: An overcast day in east-end Scarborough finds TTC H1 5402 departing the relatively new Warden Subway Station with a 4-pack of Hawkers, crossing over from the station’s south platform to the westbound track of the Bloor-Danforth line. The train is operating on the eastern extension from Woodbine to Warden station that opened two years earlier in 1968, and the leading car’s rollsign bears the new western end terminus Islington station (previously Keele). In the 1960′s not much artistic design was factored into the new Bloor-Danforth line stations (most today have retained that basic utilitarian tiled bathroom look), and Warden is nothing fancy: just a boxy covered section with center platform and a bus terminal off to the left out of view. There was also a short subway siding for parking work cars here, visible in the upper right. It’s interesting to note that CN’s GECO branch passed by in the distance (visible here) along the row of houses in the background, a stone’s throw from the station near where the line ducked underground. Despite this, there was no CN-TTC connection or spur for delivery of track materials and such. Original photographer unknown, Kodachrome slide from the Dan Dell’Unto collection.
