Toronto Subway from the Beginning to Today Part I

This video shows all of the different train types, both inside and outside, that were providing service in the Toronto Subway. In August 2011, the new Toronto Rockets have finally been put into service and needed a separate video for them. Pictures: Google. Chopin Nocturne No.2 in E-flat major

Why did you show an inside pic of a Gloucester car that had fluorescent lighting??? THAT was not the traditional. Most of those cars had rounded incandescent lights that "blinked" on and off when the train hit dead areas of the third rail.

Didn't they run another type of train for a very short period of time in the 80s with circle shaped windows?

[308813062]

@RetroKing85 that was the tokyo rose, if that's what your talking about. it wasn't part of revenue service, it was used as a garbage train and was scrapped. i don't know that much about it, but you can look it up

@oween if those things never happened to you, well, then I think god saves you.

@VincentKim1215 ok... thats never happened to me... and although i have pretty recently started to take the ttc regularly (about 3 months now) ive never had to wait at a station for a long time except if its bloor/yonge station which always is open long (which i thought was to let more ppl on and off) and ive only once experience a problem that made a difference in my travel and i didnt even have to get out of the train

[oween5]

the m1 looks funky... but depressing in that light...

[VincentKim1215]

TTC is fucked up pretty bad

You can experience traffic on a subway line

Drivers ask you to leave the train due to freaking mechanical problem(which appears to be at least 2 times in a month) then you have to get on the next one which is full of people.

Trains stop at certain station to switch the driver. I understand that, but why are the fucking drivers never on time that train arrives on station? Why do passengers have to wait for lazy asshole drivers and wasting valuable time?

@plane700 is this between st.clair and summerhill?

Cool! I remember the M1s.. they were the 'weridest' feeling of all the trains. When you sat by the window, it was so high.. and windows were very round.

And the 'AC' was worse than any of the others that came later.

@308813062 Ah okay, thanks!
