Railfans tend to come out only when the sun shines. Transit drivers don't have that luxury. Neither rain nor sleet nor blowing snow will keep these people from showing up to work. Which means that many railfans aren't around when these drivers are out in wet or snowy conditions, doing their duty... until now.

On Sunday, December 22, 2013, an ice storm dumped as much as two inches of freezing rain on the Greater Toronto Area, severely disrupting travel before Christmas. Portions of the subway were taken offline, including the Sheppard subway, whose signalling system was felled by power outages. Shuttle buses were pulled in to provide service. An anonymous user submitted TTC Orion VII bus #7918 travelling on the 4 Sheppard Subway shuttle. |
