Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract WELLS, JAMES E. II, M.A., June 2006, Geography THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF RACIAL AND ETHNIC ACCESS WITHIN BALTIMORE’S CARROLL PARK: 1870-1954 (96 pp.) Director of Thesis: Geoffrey L. Buckley In order to understand the present patterns of use seen in urban green spaces, it is often important to look at the history of the areas being studied. For example, people tend to shy away from parks with a history of racial violence or segregation even after the problem no longer exists. Baltimore’s Carroll Park provides an excellent example of an urban green space with a long history of different policies regarding who could be granted access to the park facilities. From its beginnings as a wealthy estate owned by the Carroll Family, the land being studied here passed into the hands of the private, German- run West Baltimore Schuetzen Association, and later into the possession of the City of Baltimore as what we now know as Carroll Park.

    INCORPORATED 1952 NUMBER 452 JUNE 1987 The first TTC ALRV, 4200, is put through its paces at the UTDC test track near Kingston, Ont., May 20, 1987. The car has been equipped with a bow collector temporarily but will sport a regular trolley pole in Toronto operation. The ALRV lacks its number and TTC crest, but already has a roll sign, turned up for 501 Queen, one of the routes on which it will operate. The boxes on the roof are for the ventilators and the brake resistors. Notable differences between this car and demonstrator 4900 include redesigned trucks, two sets of chopper controls, and standard foot controls instead of hand control. The first of the TTC's 52 ALRVs is expected to reach Toronto this summer, --Photo courtesy Ray Corley Two of the locomotives that helped the ONR to complete its dieselizatlon program were FP7A 1510 outshopped by DDGM in June, 1952, and GP9 1600, which left the London shop floor in July, 1956. The 1600 lacks the dynamic bralces so often associated with Geeps, but does have the less- familiar roof-mounted air reservoir tanks, as well as a steam generator for passenger service (note the stack in front of the bell). At the time that these photos were taken the units were still resplendent in the road's 1950s vintage dark green and yellow paint scheme, with red trim and, on the 1600, red numbers. ^^^^ nhntnQ JUNE 1987 3 (Editor's Note: The following article appeared in the Hamilton SPECTATOR on May 2, 1987, six » days before the official corporate windup of the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway.
