A moment in history
For many folks, Friday nights mean fun trips with friends to bars, clubs, sporting events, and more. For me, well it meant standing along the cold, wet CP North Toronto subdivision in Toronto, waiting to capture one final train. GO Transit's 22h53 NB trip rolls over the diamond, waking up the neighborhood one last time. For a moment, heaven. And then quiet again. This is the last revenue run for GO on the Newmarket portion of the Davenport diamond. When commuters take the GO train next, they'll be up in the air atop the Davenport guideway. This marks the beginning of the end of the last diamond in Toronto. While CP will still use it for the short-term, I doubt it will be long before it is ripped out and the final diamond within city limits is history. Most think I'm crazy for this kind of trip (especially in the rain we experienced), but these are the moments that I wouldn't pass up for anything...
