Over at his blog, Steve Munro has a brilliant multi-post examination of the Bloor-Danforth subway line's birth, in time for the line's 50th anniversary. (So far, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.) Munro takes a look at the line from many angles--planning, construction, controversy, consequences for the rest of the TTC network--and includes all kinds of images. (I took the above from the fifth post in his series.) The entire series is strongly recommended.
