If you ever have time i suggest visiting Hamilton as its probably the oldest transit agency in Ontario, if not Southern Ontario. It has too many XN60s and the future of Translink, LFS CNGs. It also has a fleet of disappearing D40LFs and XD40s. Hope ya give Hamilton a visit!
Doing some railfanning in Toronto I see. As you can see the subways in Toronto hardly goes 50 km/h vs. the Skytrains that go 50 mph. But since you're doing TTC's Line 2 I feel it's also worth mentioning how some of the stations along Line 2 have similar names as some of the Skytrain Stations. In Toronto, we have Royal York Station where as in Vancouver you have Royal Oak Station. Toronto has Main Street Station, Vancouver has Main Street/Science World Station. Both cities have Lansdowne Station. Line 2 in Toronto & the Richmond/Brighouse branch of Canada Line. Kennedy Station in Toronto is actually quite similar to Commercial/Broadway Station in Vancouver. At Kennedy Station, the lower platform which is for Line 2 is a shared platform just like the Millenium Line platform & the upper platform despite being currently shut down also has the Spanish Solution just the Expo Line westbound platform. Even though TTC's Bombardier T1s don't serve Line 1 anymore. I thought it'd be worth mentioning how Union Station is kind of like Toronto's version of Vancouver's Waterfront Station. Both Stations are close by a body of water. Union Station is by Lake Ontario & Waterfront Station is by Pacific Ocean. Both Stations have conncetions to the airport. UP Express in Toronto & Canada Line in Vancouver. Both stations are terminal stations with connections to commuter rail networks that use the same double decker trains. GO Transit in Toronto & West Coast Express in Vancouver. Both Stations also have connections to ferry boats. Island ferries to Toronto Islands in Toronto & Seabus to North Vancouver in Vancouver. Another thing worth mentioning is like Calgary's Siemens-Duewag U2 C-Trains, Vancouver's UTDC Mk1s & Toronto's Bombardier T1s are some of the oldest transit rolling stock in Canada today.
