Great shot!
As you may have heard, there are plans to redevelop Union Station and the area around it, so photos like this are going to become more and more important.
Gonna grab my camera and head on down this weekend.

It is still there but part of it is now the Whisle Stop Brewery.

I think it's called the Steam Whistle brewery now. I dropped in last summer to buy one of their tin signs - you gotta check it out - looks great in a train room IMHO!

Yup, Thats the name Val. Drove by there last Thursday,saw that, and meant to correct my error.
Chris, any winter pictures with the crew out there with flaming oil cans that look like long spout watering cans, so they can melt the ice that interferes with the operation of those double and single slips?

Hi Robin, I am sure I have come across a picture like that on one of my web searches!!
I am pretty busy right now getting every thing ready for Railfair show in Ottawa, it takes 4 days off us guys but we enjoyed it last year.
I will get back to you on that one next week, I think I can find something.
Cheers.

And by the look of the road. Can you believe Front Street was ever this deserted? I think I actually see a parking space!

Wow! I've just been staring at that picture looking at the wealth of information there! Awesome. Toronto Island in the background, is that part of Canada Malting or is the Linseed place that used to be down around there?
Just great.
Val
Just great.

That old black and white picture 
you can not get a better lasting picture, If I had a copy I would be pouring over it with my magy glass
Lovely....
Robin I did have a calander a few years ago with a shot of men working on the frozen switches at Union Station.
Now I never throw anything out BUT
I do throw them some where
So I will begin a search and hope for the best.
Cheers.

Great photos David. Just look at that activity around the John street roundhouse.
The picture north also shows the old Eaton buildings where I worked. I had an office in what had been the leather factory. Then the bulldozers came in and the Toronto Eaton Centre was born

Hi gang.
I can't date the photos exactly -- I didn't do things like that then. It's after 1959 - possibly summer of 1960. I can't see the new City Hall, but the site seems to have been made a parking lot.
There are a lot of buildings in the photo that have disappeared; it's surprising, though, how many of them are still there.
