View looking northerly as Yonge Street passes under the CP Railway overhead
at Summerhill. The intersection of CP's

house. The station was the North Toronto Station, which handled CP's
passenger traffic until it was moved to Union Station in 1930.

This view looks northerly from the Lawton Boulevard intersection towards
the Belt Line Trail Pedestrian Overpass. The Belt-Line Trail was a
privately run suburban radial line built to ease access to the towns of
Forest Hill, Swansea, Rosedale and Moore Park that were located just outside
of Toronto City Limits. The steel bridge was being repainted at the
time this photo was taken.

Not a highway, obviously; this photo is looking at an above ground section
of the Yonge TTC Subway line. The TTC is Toronto`s very successful
Transit Company that operates bus-lines, three subway lines and one light
rapid transit line through the City of Toronto.

Two views looking northerly from the Belt Line Trail overpass. The
update previous to Yonge Street it Toronto included photos of
Highway 11 between Shabaqua Corners and
Atikokan in Northwestern Ontario. I did this to highlight both the
diversity of Highway 11 as it treks across Ontario, but also the diversity
of Ontario itself. The vast, vast majority of Ontario is uninhabited
wilderness, yet nearly 75% of the province's residents live in urban areas
such as this.
