"Back on February 20, 1985, I had the opportunity to visit the old CPR John Street Roundhouse near downtown Toronto. While Canadian National’s/VIA Spadina Avenue Roundhouse received more notoriety, John Street was an awesome place to visit. CP maintained a small fleet of aging MLW S2 and S3 switchers at John Street until the roundhouse closed up shop in 1986."

So wrote Scott Snell of Easton, Pennsylvania as he shared these photos with us. We always appreciate being allowed to use historic photos of our artefacts or the Toronto railway scene to complete our coverage of the railway history of our area.
