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. 14730
