Title
Car 43 on the Metropolitan line, 1912
Description
This electric streetcar belonging to the Toronto and York Radial Railway is pictured on Yonge at Yonge Blvd. Incorporated in 1877, this railway was animal-powered until it converted to electric in 1890. The Metropolitan station was located at Yonge & Birch.
Radial railroads were for travel between cities, and were largely replaced by buses once the highways came along in the 1920s and '30s... until the '70s, of course, when the GO Transit service began.
