I rode it at a June 1982 open house there. It is absolutely the original ICTS test car. I don't know how long it lasted, but by the end of 1983 the later versions that looked more like the ones that made it into service started making their appearance at the facility.

Correct once again! It’s a reverser key for the British Thompson-Houston master controller on the G cars. Oddly, I’ve seen these and seen the H car ones, but I never actually saw one for the GE controllers on the Montreallers out of the control stand. I don’t know if it was the same or different given how BTH was the actual General Electric entity in England (not to be confused with the General Electric Company that used the stylized GEC marking which was a completely different and unrelated company but registered that name there first).

Cityflyer Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Seems they have added back the 5th station in the Line 1 extension to RHC. Keith Irish on Twitter: "I'm plsed to share news the provincial govt has added a Royal Orchard station to its Yonge North Subway Extension project. This is good news for #Thornhill. However, this area will likely be designated a “Transit Oriented Community” and we must brace for the impact that'll have. https://t.co/PLzHk9iGGK" / Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
