Railhead fencepost
Old rails are used to retain the roadbed of the CP North Toronto line along Marlborough Ave near Summerhill. Until roughly the 1960's, CP had a lead that split from the south service track at Avenue Rd, which sank to street level and served the freight houses across Yonge Street from the old North Toronto station. The spur today is a short walking path, and the old freight houses and other industry has been replaced with a parking lot and tennis racket club since I think the 1980's.
