Toronto Subway & Scarborough RT in Action - March 2016

[@MatauPlays]

I don’t care how loud the RT is I think it is an underrated service that we have. I will definitely miss them when they are gone

[@FredButEvenWorse]

In 2025 they planning to make it the ontario line and the rts might be in it

[@RandomTransits]

@@FredButEvenWorse nope, till 2023 hits thats when they scrap all Mk1's due to old age. They might use one of the new bombardier models especially the Mk2's or Mk3's depending on TTC's decisions

[@FredButEvenWorse]

@@RandomTransits aww, I really wanted them to stay :(

[@WCE107]

​@@RandomTransits wait, they'll be using the MK3s? I thought they're using Hitachi trains.

[@E-sterOfficial]

they're gone now, they were originally supposed to close this weekend, but due to a derailment at Ellesmere on July 24th, the srt is no more

[@voltorfan]

When I rode the scarborough RT, it was noisy as hell. but I like the new blue design with the map on top. Nice vid. Liked and subbed

[@Welwyn22]

This was my first visit to Toronto - I actually live in Vancouver, BC where we have a similar - though much larger - system known as 'SkyTrain' - you can see two videos of that in my upload list ;-)

[@waffledude111111]

Also, I should add that I have heard that in recent coming years, they are scrapping Line 3 and extending Kennedy station to Scarborough Town Centre. These Trains are old enough to be scrapped.

[@WCE107]

Vancouver is going to be doing the same with our MK1's, and the first variants of the MK2's. They're gonna be replaced by the longer, 5-car MK5's

[@SomeTrainEnthusiast]

Odd how some of the line 3 train cars are wrapped in blue with a "3 bullet" pasted in a random location in the window at the end of the car

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Those are overhauled cars

[@SuperMarie1217]

that train looks like the mark 1 skytrain

[@Welwyn22]

That's exactly what it is - both these and the Mk1 Skytrains in Vancouver, BC are the UTDC ICTS Mk1 trains. Toronto does not have Mk2 or Mk3 trains as they are too long to negotiate the curve at Kennedy Station. Furthermore the line is set to be replaced in the next five years by an extended subway from Kennedy and also (tentatively) a new streetcar route.

[@SuperMarie1217]

Welwyn22 oh ok thanks and FYI I don't live in Toronto I live in vancouver but I've never rode the skytrain 😟

[@gencreeper6476]

Damn. How could you live in Vancouver and not have had a chance to ride the SkyTrain? You're actually deprived. If you go the best time is off peak hours on a clear day

[@SuperMarie1217]

gencreeper look I never have the time to ride one because when I was little I almost got hit by a train so I'm scared of trains

[@FaadumoArdo]

I can't wait when you are paying a giveaways? I am your big fan bro. I like your channel. Good Job!

[@waffledude111111]

These RT's are loud, and it sounds like they haven't greased the axles in forever, it sounds so rusty.

[@Xenomorph-hb4zf]

waffledude111111 and some people say that the Scarborough RT is new technology they don't know how garbage it is

[@naturallyherb]

The TTC refused to buy a rail grinder blaming costs reasons; this allowed flat spots and wear to develop on the wheels causing much of the noise.

[@gencreeper6476]

It's because they didn't automate them

[@SRBAnimate]

gencreeper the rt is automatic

[@mwospillercameron6954]

I love the blue Rt wen I went on ,it wus loud but I love it

[@mzcat76]

How can theses trains handle these sharp curves?

[@Welwyn22]

Sharon Watkins The ICTS Mark 1 trains were designed with sharp curves in mind.

[@matthewerwood7918]

I believe the wheels are not on fixed axles

[@Makoto778]

It uses articulated bogies, basically the front and rear wheels of each bogie can be steered in the direction of the track.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

And the cars are only about 50ft long

[@Ontario_Fanner]

10:31 those chimes 🥹

[@donnamacdonald5582]

Those sound just like Vancouver

[@Welwyn22]

Same trains, same traction motors - just subtle differences between the two.

[@TheZedThing]

+Welwyn22 What are the differences?

[@julianheald8661]

Probably very minor stuff such as the door operations (opening, closing, door chime), announcements and the interior design.

[@naturallyherb]

Biggest difference is the driver cab on the RT, vs no driver cab in Vancouver and Detroit.

[@TheBarryHarrison]

The RTs in Toronto are driver-operated, while the SkyTrain in Vancouver are self-operated & driverless.

[@jayvonnoelsmith8445]

The Scarborough RT is amazing keep it do a protest

[@lrookies]

PPE: Hearing protection should be mandatory for drivers. This aging RT line is SO noisy, it easily exceeds recommended safe db levels for prolonged exposure. There WILL be hearing loss for long time drivers of these buckets of bolts.

[@NameIsCanadian]

Why does the leaving sound sounds like SkyTrain???

[@Welwyn22]

The cars are identical to SkyTrain cars (UTDC MK1s)

[@NameIsCanadian]

@@Welwyn22 one year late, but thanks

[@TheShadowFox9642]

Cool sound

[@beebeesfuntasticadventures6110]

nice trains, so how often do they come by the Kennedy station?

[@Welwyn22]

They were quite frequent from what I recall, usually less than five minutes apart.

[@dangerouslychatnoir4768]

Quite frequent.

[@trainsandrandomstuff3221]

Why is there no Toronto 6 car Mark 1s?

[@Welwyn22]

The platforms aren't large enough, there aren't enough cars and the Mk1s are no longer produced. Mk2s and Mk3s cannot be accommodated due to the platforms and the tight curve at Kennedy station. Eventually the line will need to be modified for three-car Mk3 trains, or demolished altogether. Unfortunately I see the latter option being the most likely.

[@SRBAnimate]

And they are too large for the balloon loop at Kennedy Station

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Why does it sound like a Mark I SkyTrain?

[@Welwyn22]

Because it IS a Mark I SkyTrain. Toronto's Line 3 is identical to Vancouver's SkyTrain in almost every way.

[@martinuzair439]

Jasmine Johnston and the innovia metro 100 is also in detroit

[@trainsandrandomstuff3221]

It is there are 3 operators:TransLink,TTC and Detroit People Mover

[@iamjaystation3050]

I love the rt toronto ttc

[@jayvonnoelsmith8445]

I love RT Toronto TTC they should not close it do a protest

[@WCE107]

​@@jayvonnoelsmith8445 the line and it's trains are old. 40 years. It needs lots of repairs since lots of the line has probably already started to rust and decay. Even here in Vancouver we're starting to get rid of the MK1s with the MK5.

[@dangelohartley5977]

How the trains are powered?

[@Welwyn22]

D'Angelo Hartley Electrically, third rail. (Except line 3 which uses third rail plus linear motors).

[@SRBAnimate]

Wait, is the Mark 1 DC or AC?

[@hammerplusplus]

@@SRBAnimate DC 600 volts

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Hate how the T1s have no side signs to tell you where they're going.

[@Welwyn22]

They don't really need it. The destinations are Kennedy and Kipling, that's it. It's not like there are four or more places the train could end up.

[@Nvideofilms]

The train is damn busy

[@wiwiwum45]

Can anyone else smell this video at 8:10 or is it just me?

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

What is with the new livery on the mark1s?

[@ltaproductions7989]

+Stylishtrains (JeumontForever) we recently "Modernized the line" and so the liveries where updated.

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

Is there anything else that's different?

[@ltaproductions7989]

nope, except the small track upgrades, still as useless as ever

[@StylishtrainsJeumontForever]

OK thanks

[@marioiacolucci]

does the rt and TTC still use operators? on the newvsubways?

[@elevatorman1197]

sounds like the skytrain one

[@arizonawiqds]

Seeing how packed some of these are it seems bad to shut it down

[@Welwyn22]

True, but it's been neglected for too long and will be replaced by a subway extension to Scarborough from Kennedy.

[@NameIsCanadian]

@@Welwyn22rt has been officially shut down by ttc

[@LennoxAlexanderFrancisJr]

Who made this Scarboro RT train?

[@Welwyn22]

Lennox Alexander Francis Jr UTDC - though the technology is now owned by Bombardier

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Lennox Alexander Francis Jr Bombardier. It's a Canadian engineering company

[@yorkregiontransitfan5364]

sounds so creepy at the stop and start

[@icantthinkofaname2812]

I know! The motor is low

[@jacobdolman3831]

Subway cars cool

[@mwospillercameron6954]

Why does it sound like Mark sky train

[@Welwyn22]

Same trains, same traction motors

[@matthewadinkrah8646]

Rip

[@ianfalconer7405]

R.I.P. SRT

[@adamadam-di2em]

Looks like a vancouver skytrain

[@owenchuarbx]

The Rocket sounds more like the London Underground 2009 Tube Stock

[@Welwyn22]

Prometheus Crystal same builder - Bombardier. I just wish they could have made them more visually appealing. Why do most North American trains have to be boringly metal-coloured?

[@owenchuarbx]

I have no idea and worse still they're more prone to graffiti and dirt than the ones coated

[@blue9multimediagroup]

@@Welwyn22 bare metal is easier to clean and less maintenance having to repaint them

[@elevatingnorthtexas9723]

The old subway trains sound like the DART train in Dallas

[@Welwyn22]

They probably use the same or similar traction motors. These types of trains are used in Detroit, Toronto and Vancouver (BC).

[@elevatingnorthtexas9723]

At 8:15 - 8:46 it has the same start up and stop sound

[@SRBAnimate]

Elevating North Texas it also sounds the same as NYC’s retired R110A trains

[@transportationland6395]

is there a driver in the RT?

[@raymond289]

YES every TTC train has an Operator. TTC Subway 2 Driver switch 1 drive only westbound and same operator open and Closes train door travel eastbound.

[@cprmainline1607]

who thinks toronto is going to steal vancouver's mark 3 skytrain

[@Welwyn22]

Not going to happen. The MK3 and MK2 trains are too long for the Kennedy curve. Only Mk1 trains have sufficient clearance for it. Also they've rather opted to extend the subway to Scarborough instead of upgrading the ICTS line, so ten years from now that route will likely be torn down.

[@cprmainline1607]

Welwyn22 oh yea that makes scence ive seen the mk3 and mk2 go around corners at the yard depot at there fine

[@raymond289]

Year 2000 2st Generation and 2010 3rd Skytrain are wider by 1 Feet each Side. TTC Scarborough RT Dont have the Width in is Platform as is already Max out at Kennedy Station. North side is Unloading and South side is to Load. Newer Train is 1.5 times vs Old Length. not possible to make the Cut. TTC is more Focus service repairing Subway. Main Street Science World Vs Kennedy Station > 3 times Tighter turning Can't put the Canada Line train into Skytrain line Wider by min 5 Feet. Skytrain design better in compare to Scarborough RT

[@CharlieND]

Ellesmere is always dead LOL.

[@marioiacolucci]

really?

[@JcDizon]

I actually got off there once during winter 10 years ago. I thought it was just like Lawrence East with the Ellesmere bus going under the bridge but I had to climb the hill instead and when I reached the street, my boots was filled with snow. No wonder it is the least used station.
