CN Locomotives spotted between Spadina Avenue and the Spadina Roundhouse in this mid-1962 picture.
The visible engines still have CNR maple leaf paint schemes that preceded CN black and orange-red.
Beyond MLW RS10 units CN 3107 and CN 3109 are MLW S-4 CN 8145 and GMDD SW1200 CN 7025.  
Similar switcher exhaust stacks can be seen in the row behind the switchers, then the cab of an MLW RS-3.
Near left is the long hood front end of a Grand Truck Western EMD GP9.
With steam engines out of service, the ash pits are covered (between rails across from 3107's cab) and the ash conveyor structure is gone. 
Partly obstructed by the left side of CN's water tower is the 34 story Bank of Commerce Building, for many years the tallest building in Toronto, in Canada, and in the British Commonwealth.
