The railroad on Prince Edward Island closed down in 1987 for want of economic sense, leaving the trail to be converted into the (rather nice) Confederation Trail, a nice place to go hiking or biking. One thing among many things that I like about my home in Toronto is that it lies directly south of a freight line belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railroad, the movement of the trains punctuating my days and lulling me to sleep. The same line has also been suggested as the corridor for a midtown commuter rail line, one that would also connect to the Summerhill CPR station on Yonge Street that I've photographed before.

Crossing midtown Toronto as it does, this rail line can't help but cross over streets. Below are pictures of the undersides of two of these bridges on two of these streets.

This is the bridge crossing Yonge Street at the Summerhill stations, TTC and CPR both.
