A good picture book, with interesting anecdotes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
While not the technically detailed book that most railfans are accustomed to, Mike Filey has put together a transit history book for the rest of us. Covering the first seventy five years of the Toronto Transit Commission, Mike skims the surface, offering up an anecdote from each year in the system's history. There's plenty of good photographs to boot. Few maps and no track plans, but it's a worthy addition to any railfan's shelf.
You'll know it's good to be a resident that served by TTC!

This book is an excellent source of providing TTC information anywhere else!From the book, I understand how does the transit system in Toronto developed, from street car track rebuild, to the first motor bus, then the subway, RT....... even the first day subway transfer! Strongly recommand!
Very entertaining and chock full of photos.

Mike's look at the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is very entertaining and chock full of great pictures. TTC archivist Ted Wickson chose the pictures from the huge collection the city was smart enough to catalogue. This book is a collector's item, is in soft-cover format and if you can get it you're doing yourself (or someone close to you) a real favour. Very highly recommended.
