APRIL 1985 Ibrantotwl THE T.T.C. IS NOW 7^ THREE RAILWAYS ON 1. Background With a surface streetcar system dating back to 1861 and an HRT (subway) system which began operation in 1954, the year 1985 will mark the inception of a third TTC electric railway operation, the 4.5 mile Scarborough RT (ICTS) line. The latter facility can trace its origin back to some rather nebulous proposals advanced during the 1960s for what was at the time referred to as a "limited tramline" running north-easterly along the abandoned CN (originally Canadian Northern Ry.) right-of-way from the east terminal of the Bloor-Danforth Subway to some destination that was never really fixed. This limited tramline proposal (how quickly and totally that short lived term has been replaced by LRT) was particularly espoused by former Scarborough Reeve (and later Mayor) Albert (Ab) Campbell. The concept at this time was to use PCC cars rendered surplus by subway construction. By June of 1976 the Scarborough Town Centre had been committed as a major Civic-Office- Shopping complex in the Ellesmere-McCowan area of the then Borough.
