On the evening of February 18, 2018, TTC ALRV #4215 went out on an unusual charter. Rather than railfans, attendees were there to dance and party. The vehicle was fitted out with special lights and a sound system, and attendees danced their way through the city. However, Chris Edwards was there to take a number of railfan photographs and put the charter on the record.
