I can't wait for this precedent to be set. Once Torontonians get a taste of a park spanning the rail corridor and developers see real world examples of how they provide value, it'll no doubt inspire future projects along the rail corridor to do the same, long before the city gets its act together on RailDeck Park.

@Marcanadian I think that's the first time I've seen a pic of the train shed illuminated, thanks (don't have a 'zoom in' do you ? ;-).

Yep, I've got a 55-300mm telephoto lens. Check out my photo thread for a closer look at the shed.

Here's one last panorama, stitched by @someMidTowner.

Thanks for the link with the latest gorgeous shots (long-time viewer/fanboy of your great portfolio... I'm the guy in the cheap seats with the binoculars).

When you see those photos, it's funny to recall that everything south of the tracks was basically a wasteland less than 20 years ago.

and 50 years before that was under water!

How odd might it be to be time-travelled to Toronto from that period and hear someone give directions to a restaurant "South of Front St."

I think that was in the 1920s, so more like 75-80. But I do think about that a lot when I look out my window and realize that pretty much everything I can see is on a brand new land mass.

Does anyone have a comparable view looking East from 20 or 30 years ago? I can't recall where to find these historical photos online.

If you Google image "Views from CN Tower 1990s" you will see some good pics. This article also has some good pics over the decades... https://www.blogto.com/city/2011/11/a_visual_history_of_the_toronto_railway_lands/
