Doors Open Toronto 2014


Recommended Posts

The annual event sees 1-2 TTC buildings open to the public every year. Unfortunately, since 2012 they've been doing one building a year, which is a shame because, depending on the facility, it can be quite small. I love carhouses and yards, but I was in and out of this year's facility in something like 30-35 minutes.

 

This year they opened 1 of 2 streetcar divisions in the Beaches. PCCs were giving rides and the new vehicles were up for display. But before I put up the photos, I went fanning last Saturday too, so I'll post those photos first (also streetcar fanning - my CLRV photo collection currently stands at 92 photos, more than any other transit vehicle. I originally wanted to see the Godzilla subway car as posted in a photo thread last week, but they took it down a day early, so I was disappointed).

 

As usual, a selection of my best photos is being posted. To see the full collection, visit my Flickr gallery! https://www.flickr.com/photos/100607361@N06/with/14022028468/
