Comments on: On a murky evening in 1978, a CN freight train with MLW power heads west past Fort York in this view from Strachan Avenue. The train is about to cross the Wharf Lead that led south from Parkdale to the waterfront, originally the old Toronto, Grey & Bruce Ry. narrow gauge mainline to the Queens Wharf. On the north side of the tracks is the old Inglis plant, on the left is the CNE siding. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The diamonds here at CN "Cabin E" were removed in 1984 (along with Cabin E interlocking tower, visible in the distance) and replaced with a set of crossovers that CP the used, and the interlocking renamed "Fort York".

I heard Fez City was so named because a lot of circus trains went down there & they had association with the Shriners.

I cannot even imagine this scene due to how much changed in so little time! If one looks carefully you can see Exhibition Station adjacent to Dufferin St. Interesting to see what this location on the Oakville Sub looked like way back when.
