View of Lambton and West Toronto yards looking east towards Runnymede Rd. (taken from coal tower). Tracks on the right are part of the main portion of Lambton Yard, the farthest two being the westward and eastward main lines. Tracks in the middle lead to and from West Toronto Yard in the background and stretch west to Scarlett Road. Tracks on the left are called the Here Yard (#13 to #1) and Storage Yard (3 tracks) where the last two steam locomotives 3422 and 3632 which last worked out of Port McNicoll in April await movement to Angus Shops (Montreal) for scrapping. Building near the centre of picture located right at Runnymede subway (underpass) is the original 1913 yard office, a wooden structure replaced in 1976 by the present one. Note the many cabooses waiting for their crews. Also visible are reefers (refrigerator cars) with open ice hatches, empty hopper cars and various stored work equipment including two Jordan spreaders (bottom left near steam engine) and many types of freight equipment including box cars, tank cars, gondolas, flat cars etc. The lack of activity means the photo was likely taken on a Sunday. Note the single road diesel at the right. In the background are the Maple Leaf Mills grain silos. Church spires are visible to the right and an early high rise apartment. Summer 1960. R.L.Kennedy
