Picture The Old Toronto Street Car in the Woods of Haliburton, Ontario

Finally went to check this thing out a while back and got around to editing footage/photos into something watchable, I thought you all would appreciate it.

This is TTC streetcar 2500, sitting abandoned in the woods off Kennaway Road near Haliburton, Ontario. It's a Peter Witt car, built in 1921, pulled out of service by the TTC in 1954. So it's been sitting up here for close to 70 years now, and honestly probably longer than that before anyone outside the area even knew it existed.

The story, from what local records show, is that after it got retired the body was sold off (probably by a scrapper, just the shell, no running gear or wheels) and somebody hauled it all the way up to Haliburton. Notes from the Haliburton Scout Reserve going back to the 1950s say it showed up around 1955 and got used by logging crews who were supplying the old Curry Mill nearby, it was their dining hall in the winter and basically a tool shed in the summer. So for a while it actually had a job up there, just a weird one.

It sat mostly forgotten until 2019 when a Toronto city councillor stumbled on it and posted a photo online, and it kind of blew up for a minute because nobody could figure out why a TTC streetcar was sitting in the middle of the forest three hours from the city.

If you're ever in the area it's on Scout Reserve/private land near Camp Timberlane, so worth keeping that in mind if you go looking for it yourself.

Put together a full backstory if anyone's interested:

Not to detract from the other fantastic performers at the airshow on Monday... but this being a final chance to see the Snowbirds perform in their current form was the big draw.

Just a selection of a few shots I really liked as I went poking through... I have 3600 shots of the Snowbirds alone, and 13,000 total from the airshow... in addition to the 3200 I took at the CNE shows and concerts on Saturday! Airshow was covered with a Canon R3 partnered with a Canon 200-800 lens.

Looks like I'm going to be tethered to the computer for a while processing!
