Rogers Road streetcar line information


The Rogers Road route was opened on November 19, 1924.

The Rogers Road streetcar line was a streetcar line that operated mainly within the Township of York (later the Borough of York, today a district within the City of Toronto) from 1924 to 1974. The line was owned by the Township of York Railways, which in turn was owned by its namesake municipality. The Township of York Railways contracted with the Toronto Transportation Commission, later the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to operate the line.[1]

The Rogers Road line opened on the same day in 1924 as the Oakwood streetcar line which shared the same tracks between St. Clair Avenue and Rogers Road along Oakwood Avenue. As with the Rogers Road line, the Oakwood line was owned by the Township of York Railways and operated by the TTC; it operated north from St. Clair Avenue to Eglinton Avenue where it turned west to Gilbert Loop at Gilbert Avenue. The Oakwood line closed in 1960.[1]
