Aug. 6, 1987: Roncesvalles carhouse, North Bathhurst yard, Union Station etc.. TTC, GO, VIA, and CP (incl. VIA Canadian #12, LRCs, F-units, & MLW FAs). And a pickle car.
Back then you wouldn't have been able to see 30 yr. old recordings of the past on the internet. I agree that it's hard to think that the present may someday be called the "Good Ole' Days", but who knows, our need to fix our environmental problems may lead to major changes in our transportation systems. Thank you for the comment.
@@vidwilzvids9587 Don't mention it. I just said that because even though the connectivity and the digital world was very small, getting out there was a lot more fun.
@@vidwilzvids9587 I was born in 1993. It's worth the time to take a look at home the 1970s and 1980s were like, especially when things were so different.

17:50 Surprised to see Mississauga Transit in this collection!
i miss the old street cars. Used to ride them as a kid when i grew up before they went out of service and replaced in 2014
the Cdn was super long summertime whenever we took it to camp and back
LOL...the GO trains only had 4 cars for each engine back then...now they have like 13
6:25 the very first VIA F40PH, just about a year old.
Apparently this was on the corner of Queen and Roncesvalles. Why can't I go back to the past, though, when the quality of life was much better? 😔

I really liked Toronto; seemed like a nice place to grow up. Thanks again for the comments.
That is a very cool video. Very nostalgic
If I'm not mistaken, the GO Transit Cab Cars had Brass Bells at this time, right?
I have no Idea. I guess I'm not really into bells, horns, and whistles. Spent too much time too close to them. Thanks for the comment.
If only you had filmed more GO then, and a bit more up close...
well turns out you are correct, although from Dan Cluley

Love this stuff. Do you happen to have some more footage of trains in Ontario from the 1980s?
Sorry. This is the only Canadian footage that I have. Thanks for the comment.
oh! I'd though the coupling of Montreal and Ottawa trains as a newer practice
Wow I can't believe that's what the dental car looked like. I'm pretty sure about 99% that those cars went to the railway museum in Smiths Falls
Including the pickle car? Thanks for the comment.

That’s a fast streetcar
One of the best transit systems in North America. Thanks for the comment.
Real
All Aboard
Railfanning
but where single level cab car i want the scenes to had horn and bell
DOS ANYONE HAVE ANYMORE OF THESE VIDEO'S?
Sorry; that's all I have. Good luck.
Imagine go transit kept the f40ph and just repainted them than scrapping or selling them.
Does anybody agree?
If you were to choose a train to come back would it be
A:go transit f units
B:cabooses
C:nothing of the above
D: Fairbanks-Morse Trainmasters
Interesting:)
Go trains had B units?
HEP generators, like the F unit control cabs.
