Thought.........

Imagine if the North Shore line was still connected to the Totteniville line, and through SIRT trains coild offer a one-seat ride from Tottenille to Arlington, bypassing St. George.

And now, with s omuch redevelipment planed for the North Shore's waterfront area, there is bo rapos transit ((or even light rail) option.i

No one in 1953 was thinking of that far into the future..........

W.B.:

And, in later years, the "Bee & Oh" came to regret selling their then-surplus "ME-1s" to the "Tee-Yay" back in 1953.

Weird that that the SIRT lost so much of its rolling stock to fires, starting in the late 1920s, and into the 1960s............
