Bloor
Bloor and Dundas Yard sign and a bunch of box cars at top right is
about all there is of this yard.
Looking south on Dundas Street West at Bloor Street
West, June 1, 1944.
Note the sign Canadian Pacific Railway Bloor St. Yard, partially
hidden behind poles at left. Partially hidden by the billboard advertising
Players Please (cigarettes) is R. Laidlaw Lumber Co. which had
its own siding. If that near-new PCC streetcar is King route car it
will loop to its right just behind the camera at Vincent (Street) loop.
If it is a Dundas car it will continue to Runnymede (Road) loop at Lambton
Yard. On the right is Puddicombe Motors, a Ford and Mercury automobile
dealership and on the very south west corner is an Imperial Oil service
station. That was when you actually got service, not just gas!
Very little in this scene remains today. Collection of Gord Billinghurst.
