Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | An erstwhile watchman shanty, once mounted atop a pole but now firmly anchored to the ground, now serves as a control kiosk in the Roundhouse Park/ Toronto Railway Museum. A picture of the signage for this shanty appears immediately after this, and is quite self explanatory when viewed in full screen mode. Bruefly however, this shanty is typical of those which provided shelter to gatekeepers and watchmen at the several grade crossings (level crossings) spread all over town. Typically, these shanties would be fitted with a bench and a small stove and most were fitted fifteen feet above the ground for a clear view in all directions. Such shanties soon became obsolete with increasing traffic and the subsequent elimination of level crossings in favour of flyovers or underpasses. This shanty was located elsewhere but was later moved here. (Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015) |
