TO Transit History - Subways
A TTC subway train violently rear-ends another on a stretch of the Spadina line under Russell Hill Drive, between St. Clair West and Dupont Stations - The rush hour crash buckled both trains together, killing three people and injuring at least 30 others - A coroner’s inquest and TTC investigation found that the very inexperienced driver of the train had disobeyed signals - The final report listed 236 recommendations for improving safety equipment and training. All have since been implemented - The crash remains the deadliest in the TTC’s history - thestar.com

60 Years Underground: The TTC Subway Documentary (Director's Cut). Slight changes from the original. In this version, one small clip was taken out, one song change, and I also decided to add a part where I talk about the retirement of the H6, making this video more than a minute longer than the original.
This video project started in December 2013. This documentary is basically a detailed history of the opening of the Yonge subway, and the evolution of our subway system and subway trains from 1954 to today.
Enjoy.
