Talk:Bloor streetcar line

Skyrise Cities
The Skyrise Cities article Crosstown Traffic: A Look Back at Toronto's Bloor-Danforth Streetcar Line has several errors, making it unreliable as a source: I have removed all incorrect info from the Wikipedia article that was derived from the Skyrise Cities reference.

 * Quote "the Bloor-Danforth Streetcar Line was once an amalgamation of four separate lines along various stretches of Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue". "Four separate lines" is vague perhaps meaning 4 separate routes: TCR Bloor, TRC Bloor, TRC Belt Line and TCR Danforth.
 * Quote "incorporation under the city-owned Toronto Railway Company". The TRC was privately owned; the Toronto Civic Railways was city-owned.
 * Quote "the line continued to expand service west, reaching as far as Dundas West by 1910". The line was expanded west by the TTC from Lansdowne in 1925 after underpasses were built under two railway lines.
 * Quote: "on the eastern side of the Don Valley, service along the Danforth was pushing east from Broadview towards Woodbine". Not mentioned was that it was the TCR that created the line from Broadview beyond Woodbine to Luttrell Avenue.
 * Quote: "The Toronto Railway Company continued to expand the still-separate Bloor and Danforth Streetcar Lines, with tracks reaching as far west as High Park and beyond by the mid-1910s, ...". It was the TCR that laid tracks on Bloor West from Dundas Street West past High Park reaching Runnymede Road in 1917.
 * Quote: "... and the newly expanded Danforth line became connected to an increasing number of north-south lines beginning with Broadview". During the TRC/TCR era, the TRC's Broadview route was the only connecting north/south route until the TTC era.
