Toronto Transit Commission RT- and ST-series is used for subway equipment used in work train service. The equipment in this series is non-revenue, and used for maintenance of the subway system. Some of the equipment is purchased new, others are converted from former revenue service cars.

RT series cars are used on the subway system, ST are used on the Scarborough Rapid Transit line.

  • Note: rail work car numbers have been reused in the past. Initial numbers are noted as :1 in brackets, subsequent numbers are noted as :2, :3, etc.
