This shot of the head office spur track, looking north to Wellington, was taken by L. Swanson on November 15, 1953. This track was used by the TTC money cars, which transferred each days fares from the cathouses around the system to the TTC's headquarters at the corner of Front and Yonge. Soon after the YONGE streetcar stopped, and with the TTC's headquarters soon to moved, the track was abandoned, the switch to it removed, and it faded from history.
