User:Geo Swan/Eglinton Carhouse

The Toronto Transit Commission stored a large fleet of its Peter Witt streetcars at it Eglinton Carhouse from 1922 until 1954. The vehicles were used on the Yonge streetcar line, the TTC's busiest streetcar route, until the opening of the TTC's first 7 km Yonge subway.

According to historian Mike Filey the Eglinton Carhouse was built only ten years after the intersection was annexed into Toronto, and when there were farmer's fields nearby.
