Has anybody noticed a huge cavern at the north and south entrances of St. Clair West Subway station?? It’s hard to see, when entering from the north, the tracks split into 3 (notice the ramping ceiling, hint of history being hidden by TTC’s workers), then when entering the station, they merge into 2 again. Notice the tall ceiling above and slight ramp going UP before getting cut off by the wall?? Thats whats left of the St. Clair West Subway Line (Keele/Symes-Gunns – St. Clair West Subway Station). If you study carefully, you’ll notice the shady parts of the last balcony (north exit) on the left and right sides. Those were once ramps going up towards the hole in the ceiling above (Hole is the size of BOTH tunnels below it). TTC has tried very hard to hide a piece of history they tested out for 1 year and I found it. Have you noticed it yet?? Let me know your answers!!!
Another note: The station (when it was in service) was above the platforms and that hole was the end of the platforms
Here’s some more info, I once rode that subway line to St. Clair West Subway Station back 12 years ago. The station was located west of where the 512 St. Clair streetcar loops at keele. Best known name for the station is Gunns/Symes Road. Not much is known about the station or line. But there is evidence. Look up Keele St and St. Clair Ave West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada on google maps, then scroll west along St. Clair West and you’ll see a bunch of houses built in that area. Use the Hybrid map to see the area in detail. That shows the evidence it was in service in that area. An old map book from 1989/1991 would show the building in that spot as a black mark.
I ment, St. Clair West Station, Not St. Clair Station. Don’t get the two mixed up.
