Open Doors was this past weekend in Toronto. For one day only, the new maintenance facility for the Eglinton Crosstown in Mt Dennis was open to the public, the EMSF (Eglinton Maintenace and Storage Facility). Although the new trains (aka light rail vehicles) are very much like the new TTC streetcars and the new maintenance buildings resemble the Leslie Barns, here are a few glimpses of what is to come.

For a variety of reasons, I missed this year’s Open Doors. Thanks for the peek inside the new maintenance facility. It looks all pristine and new.
I think that some of your reasons for missing Doors Open were good ones. I enjoyed seeing some of your travel pics.
Thanks 🙂
