TTC Subway
In Toronto this is the subway train which intersects the city horizontally (east-west), we also have a subway which runs north and south. I know we all think of the subway as an underground train, but in sections our subway is above ground and its nice when riding the subway at the point when the trains climbs out of the tunnel into open air especially on sunny days. This image was captured just after the train left the most westerly subway station heading east into the downtown core. Toronto is a big city, not sure how long it would take if you were to ride the subway the entire length, I suspect it would be an hour or more. Believe it or not that large black mound to the left is snow, yes you read correctly..SNOW. The City of Toronto operates a number of snow dumps in the city and this is where the city disposes of snow it removes from laneways, parking lots, city streets and anywhere else snow accumulates and impedes traffic flow, parking etc. Not terribly important information...just thought maybe you'd like to know ;-))
