    NORTH YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER AUGUST-OCTOBER, 2011 1960-2011: 51st Year www.nyhs.ca [email protected] From the President The end of an era: since the mid-1960s, the Society has had a connection with the Gibson House Museum. In 1964, the Borough of North York acquired the Gibson House. It was officially opened as a museum in 1971, with the support of the Society, historical interpreters, exhibits, displays and an annual festival. The Gibson House Volunteers were a sub-committee of the NYHS, and after amalgamation, they became City of Toronto volunteers. Through the years the Society has had representation on the GH Museum Board and post amalgamation, one appointee. City of Toronto museum boards have now been dissolved by Council. See page 2 for more information. A reminder to members, the October meeting program: C. W. Jefferys: Picturing Canada – his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Fee (1912-2010) was the Society’s Honourary President for many years. Congratulations to the 2011 recipients of the Volunteer Service Awards.

  • West Toronto Diamond
    West Toronto Diamond Brent Archibald, P.Eng. Vic Anderson, MSc (London), DIC, P.Eng. Joanne Crabb, P.Eng.,ing., PE Jonathan Werner, M.A.Sc., P.Eng. Paper prepared for presentation at the Bridges: Economic and Social Linkages Session of the 2007 Annual Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Abstract This paper describes the West Toronto Diamond project in Ontario, Canada. This project has been designed to eliminate at-grade diamond crossings of the Canadian National Railway (CN) and the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) tracks in the Junction area of Toronto, an area which takes its name from the confluence of these railways. Since the 1880’s, rail traffic here has been constrained by these diamond crossings involving the CN and CPR mainlines and a CPR Wye track. The project will result in a quantum improvement in the levels of service and safety provided by the Railways at this site. The project involves relocating the CN tracks below the CPR tracks, while at the same time maintaining all rail operations with a minimum of interruption to the Railways’ activities. The site is physically constrained and hence, in order to accomplish this goal, Delcan’s design includes the sliding of 4 mainline railway bridge spans, weighing a total of some 10,000 tonnes, into their final positions. Each slide occupies only a few hours, as it is powered by computerized high-speed tandem hydraulic jacks, moving these massive structures on steel / aluminum bronze slide paths, enabling the bridge spans to move quickly and continuously into position during brief possessions of the tracks.
