RT buses lined up in Ash Grove Garage. A special route 22 service operated by RT buses to mark their 75th anniversary. London. Saturday 12 April 2013.
First port of call on our tour was the Chester to Burtonwood run, where RT 190 appeared. This bus was to play a large part in my meeting my wife!
The front view of RT 18.
This diesel powered locomotive, designed by Anbel Corporation of Houston, Texas, and built by a small company in Milliken on Kennedy Road, runs through the subway system without using the system's third rail. This was a significant improvement on the TTC's first subway locomotive, delivered in 1968, which only operated on batteries and the subway's third rail. RT-18's independent power supply made it ideal for use on the Spadina Subway line just before it opened to the public. Received by the commission in 1977 at a cost of $450,000, it was used to tow trainsets through the unpowered line to Wilson Yards.
The locomotive is capable of speeds of up to 90 km/h and its two diesel engines can produce as much as 700 horsepower -- more than enough to haul a disabled subway train easily, not to mention heavy equipment. Platinum catalytic exhaust converters keep exhaust emissions to a minimum.
