The centre picture is one of the best pictures in the City of Toronto archives of the John Street CPR Roundhouse near the end of its operating life. A few days ago, Michael Guy took the picture at the right of a major part of the roundhouse with several walls having been removed revealing the expansive majesty of the roundhouse as it once looked. The dust in the air is the result of soda blasting during renovations being undertaken to clean and restore the interior. At the left, Michael has also captured the sun as it shines through the roundhouse windows making a beautiful pattern through the dust.
