Once again, with the popular Doors Open Toronto taking members of the public into city landmarks they rarely get to see, the TTC was pleased to throw open the doors to its Greenwood subway yards on the weekend of May 23, 2015. Members of the public were treated to guided tours of the facility, including views of the TTC’s many work trains, and a quick jaunt around the yard on a two-car T1 train.
Chris Edwards was on hand to photograph some of the highlights. His pictures are below…
