As the sun set, PCC 4500. Members of the Halton County Radial Railway and the Jack Doyle Historical Railroad Society look on, preparing to chase the car to the pickup point at Broadview Station. PCC 4500 would not return until the sky was light again.

Broadview Station was a hub of activity for those who were waiting to pick up the PCC at 9:30 p.m. Shots like this one of CLRV 4194 picking up late evening passengers on the King route, while a Dundas shuttle bus looked on. The PCC would arrive shortly.

Frank Hood drove the streetcar to Broadview Station. From there, we took the streetcar to the foot of Broadview Avenue, where we picked up our guest of honour, Ray Madden. Of course, Ray took over the controls at this point. We continued along King and down Spadina where we picked up officials at Queen's Quay Station. Then we proceeded to Spadina Loop where official presentations were made. Ray received a number of plaques, wrist watches, and congratulatory speeches. After returning the officials to Queen's Quay Station, we were off again. Robert King took this photograph.

Our first proper photo shoot was at Exhibition Loop, where an in-service ALRV was kind enough to pose for us.

Here's a shot of the CN Tower, at night, from Exhibition Loop. I was using 400 speed film at half second and full second exposures, which explains why this photograph is so grainy. Next time I take night pictures, I'm going to go with 100 speed film and take exposures which last four seconds or more.

Here's another shot of Exhibition Loop in the dark. The charter passengers are preparing to leave. From here, we would go to Spadina Station, after paying a lightning visit through Fleet Loop. Ray Madden had fun looping Fleet Loop twice, using all four switches before moving on...

Spadina Station was a lot less crowded this late in the evening. Rob Lubinski rolls the correct rollsign into view. I was trying to take as many pictures as possible without using a flash, and so I was able to catch this shot of the rollsign in motion.

After Spadina Loop, we headed for Charlotte Loop and took some very dark photographs. This photograph was taken by Robert King, who was experimenting with multiple second tripod shots, with some good results. The red streak is a car's taillight as it passes.

Heading east out of Charlotte Loop, we made our way along King and Queen Street, pausing at Connaught Carhouse for a brief pit-stop and photo shoot. Jack Doyle kindly called Pizza Pizza to order a pizza at Bingham Loop. We were called back saying that there would be a delay in making our pizza, so we killed time with some more photo shoots. This photograph is by Robert King.

Outside of Russell carhouse, the charter organizers backed the streetcar into the little-used crossover track, allowing the car to face the wrong way on the Connaught single track. The track has since been removed. Photo by James Bow.

Woodbine Loop was a good place to stop and get coffee. By now, the Blue Night runs were in operation, and we were passing 301, as opposed to 501, streetcars on Queen. Photo by James Bow.

From there, we paid a visit to Main Street Station Loop. The station was closed, but was still storing a few buses laying over during their night runs.

Finally, it's 2:30 a.m. and we're at Bingham Loop, eating Pizza. A Blue Night bus on the 324 VICTORIA PARK NIGHT service streaks past. The original plan had been to recreate the King Night car, but we were behind schedule for that. No matter. We were still having fun.

The night wore on, and finally the sun began to rise. The car moved back and forth along King Street, allowing for this spectacular photograph of the brightening sky at Dundas West Station. Robert King took this photograph.

Finally, as the morning dawned, PCC 4500 returned to Connaught Carhouse. It is pictured here on Connaught Avenue, with a returning night car behind it. Robert King took this photograph.

Robert King finishes off his charter photographs with this excellent shot of PCC 4500 silhouetted against the rising sun.
