Great vid. I remember first seeing this place on the GO train when i was a kid, and I always wondered where it was and told myself "I have to figure out where this is!". I figured it out, and had the privilege of working at Greenwood one summer in my 20s. A true Toronto gem. Real world model train set. Love it.
Yes it was part of a farewell tour to the M-1 cars, so the train went to may parts of the subway system. You can read the report of the tour on the Transit Toronto website.
There is plenty of Hard working Canadian built one million dollars each Subway cars parked here many should have been kept as heritage subways to run on special occasions throughout the year and to rent ..
It's 31 acres, but by now probably near capacity. It was built with the Bloor-Danforth line in the 1960s and opened in 1965, a year before the first stretch of that line from Keele to Woodbine. The site was originally a clay quarry (note nearby Torbrick Road), then a garbage dump covered in up to 75 feet of garbage -- about equal to the length of the subway cars serviced there!

The most distinctive feature of the M-liners: the oval windows in the doors, vs. rectangular on all H and T1 cars.
smwca123 Good observation :-)
@@fares-please no T1s on line 2 back then?
@@TheOGDieselFanatic No not yet. Just the H2/H4 and H6. The T-1s were exclusive to Line 1 still
@@fares-please oh
Greenwood yards also have a large underground track area and shops close by

Thanks for watching and you're right!
The seats in the M1 where a touch lower than the Hawker Sidley series the Hawker Sidley seats where better like the orange bench seats
We now only have the H-6 series subway cars still in TTC revenue service.
AlexR1821 not any more

When did the T1s get added to the yard
Wow..the M1 train is really really really long
Indeed 🙂
@@fares-please 0:47 is that an H2 or H4
@@TheOGDieselFanatic Difficult to get a good look, but if I had to guess I’d say a H2 based on the door indicator light
@@fares-please oh
2:03 It's the garbage train!
cool
Greenwood Yard is pretty big

As of now we don't have too many H-Series cars anymore.
I guess no T1s were on line 2 back then
When did they let the trains do that with passengers in it?
And I see an H5 at 1:57
It was an H6
You don't get stuff like this anymore.
They should make an h7 train. The H7 train that I’m planning is that it looks like the M1
