Toronto's First Subway in 1954
Published March 11, 2008 @ 12:11 in The T.Dot
This 1954 footage from the CBC is making the rounds. If you know the TTC subway system, you'll get a kick out of this.
Toronto's got itself a subway!

I've just about had it with the TTC lately. I've been riding 5 days a week for the past 5+ years and it gets worse all the time. Lack of funding and poor management of the funds they did get for so long is really starting to take its toll. I think Toronto is outgrowing the TTC really fast. The subway is now silver, not grey. The old trains were very interesting with the windows that could open. Toronto Mike I remember as a younger man you'd occasionally get a red subway. That was always pretty cool. When did the last red subway get pulled?

3 tokens for a quarter.
It's neat to see the same subway line that I ride today in that footage. And I swear it is the same train, too.
