Travel along with us on a long-ago weekend adventure for Emery Gulash and his good friend Walt Sardinha. The two friends came early and stayed late for a day, or maybe a few days, on the sunny side of the tracks of the Toronto Terminals Railway in the early 1970s, recording the passage of a wide spectrum of passenger trains, switching moves, and some freight traffic into and near the vibrant Beaux-Arts Toronto Union Station, opened in 1927.
This was the era before Via Rail Canada took over long-distance passenger operations in 1978. A non-stop parade of trains of the Canadian Pacific, Canadian National, Government of Ontario Transit (GO Transit ), and Ontario Northland are seemingly everywhere in these historic rail action scenes.
