January 14 1989 Toronto Ontario
How the Toronto skyline and trainyards have changed since I went to university there in the early sixties!  On the final night before I finished my exams, I actually had the courage to go to the Spadina Roundhouse and ask for a ride up to Union Station on the locomotive consist that was to pull the overnight train to Montreal.  My request was granted and I was amazed at how rough-riding a 6700 diesel was as it went through the slip switches.

In this picture an underpass has been created to allow more GO trains to operate without conflict. Instead of Spadina roundhouse there is the baseball stadium whose name goes to the highest bidder.  In the picture is AMTRAK's Maple Leaf at the start of its journey to New York City.
