Nice, before they built the overpasses separating the rail line.
Including the Toronto/Nobleton signs are a nice touch, note there was a zig-zag there along King Road – very common back in the day (and still today on rural roads) due to the very early practice of surveyors using chain lengths and other inaccurate measurement techniques when originally surveying all the lots and concessions, resulting in a lot of disjointed roads.
This is a great scene, John.
Wow; just a beautiful image !
Did they build the overpasses or was the rail line trenched to make room ?
It looks like the latter..
This is a GREAT old time scene.
Thanks for your comments, it was Boxing Day and the usual 2-car RDC train was increased to four RDC’s to handle the Christmas travellers. Stephen, to answer your question, the Newmarket Sub road bed and track was lowered into a “trench” to pass underneath King Rd and Keele St. One day, plan to visit this site and photograph a GO train passing the same location.
