| Description | Another look at the John's Street Roundhouse near Toronto Union Station, now part of the Toronto Railway Museum. Further notes about the roundhouse appear in the previous caption. In its prime, the John Street engine facility contained 43 structures, several miles of track and covered nearly 16 acres of property. Up to 150 men worked in the facility 24 hours a day. The locomotives serviced here were so attractively maintained that their appearance became known among railroaders as the "John Street polish". For over thirty years the roundhouse was used to service CPR steam locomotives. When the company retired its steam engines in 1960, John Street continued to service CPR and VIA Rail diesel-electric locomotives for another twenty years until 1986 when the CPR decided to close the facility and donate the facility to the City of Toronto for use as a municipal railway museum.
