The Greenwood Yard was built with the Bloor-Danforth Subway in the 1960s and opened in 1965, a year before the first stretch of that line from Keele to Woodbine. Access is via a grade-separated wye between Donlands and Greenwood stations. The site was originally a clay quarry (note nearby Torbrick Road), later a garbage dump covered in garbage up to 75 feet - about equal to the length of the subway cars serviced there.
I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V 16.2 MP camera, it has a CMOS chip in it. It was raining pretty hard when we shot this. We live about 2 and a half hours away, but me and the boy wanted to watch subways. My Wife sat in the car reading.
Does Greenwood have that one set of Dual gauge track that they can make deliveries off the CP or CN mainline ,right into the yard? Or is that at Davisville? i have seen pics of Subway cars being delivered on a CP flat to the loading ramp in one of the yards...
This is at Oakvale Ave off of Greenwood just south of Danforth Ave. in Toronto go there just after rush hour alot of trains pull in to get cleaned (avout6:30 to 7:00 pm)
@@sovb you just go to the street I mentioned, you will see a fence and it is right there. Where I took the video from was at street level, the trains where below me coming out of the subway tunnel. A hidden gem for train/ subway enthusiast

Awesome. Thanks for posting. I would love to live near there and watch the subways all day.
Just wondering, what camera are you using?

I did not see anything other than subways but at the very opposite side of the yard there is a GO line and CN tracks
@@dritteramtelecom thanks David. maybe it was over at Davisville. I know one of the yards had that unique dual gauge ramp.
0:50 a black painted headlight h6 in the middle
well we got to park them some where -lol
It would have been nice if you could get into at least one of the car maintenance shops. I would like to see what the interior look like.
I don't have any access to the yards, this was taken from a little park beside the subway yards behind a fence.
@@dritteramtelecom Thank you for writing to me.
Where is this, and how can I get here myself to watch the trains?
