I don't think anyone has been inside the sealed doors for that never-built 3rd Ave subway. Essex, Bowery, Canal, and Chambers all have some secrets. You might ask Tunnelrat about the Bowery, He's been everywhere! |

Well all new light rail (Eglington Cross Town, Finch LRT, and others) will be back to standard gauge in Toronto. So yep, not changing, but running incompatible. |

Speaking of Chambers St., if you look very quickly out the right side of a Queens-bound Curly or sZemp train just after entering the tunnel, you can see the two extra trackways that were put in for possible station expansion. |

I especially liked the one about the Centre St subway early construction. As you head to Broad St on the "J", there was a wall pocket on Centre St, after the tracks curve left from Kenmare St. I was unaware that this was for a Grand St connector tunnel to the Desbrosses St Ferry. I thoughtthat the spur was to have run to the Spring St Ferry, via Cleveland Place. Live and learn! |
