Скачать или смотреть TTC MLW M1 Subway Car 5301 Walkthrough At Halton County Radial Railway (Saturday, May 4th, 2024)

Here's a quick walkthrough of one of the very first two subway/rapid transit cars built in Canada, as well as a quick walk through a CTA Chicago L-train car from 1:49 to 2:03. This car, 5301 and it's mate, 5300 were the first pair of Canadian built M1 ‘Montrealer’ subway cars ordered for the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) in the City of Toronto back in 1962 by MLW: Montreal Locomotive Works.

They were the world's longest subways cars at the time of their construction (75ft in length) and were the first subway cars ever to have their entire body built of lightweight aluminum.

They began operation as passenger trains in early 1963 and continued until their retirement on May 3rd, 1999. months later, 5300 and 5301 were transported here to the Halton County Radial Railway, which is a streetcar and electric railway museum in Milton, Ontario where they are kept as historical artifacts for transit enthusiasts and others interested about in Canadian/transportation history.
