The CP main line level-crossing at Wicksteed Ave. just east of Old Leslie Street has to be among the last of such crossings left inside Toronto. We know just how often work is done there or when a train is left sitting on the tracks because Twitter posts from the TTC and others tell us. (A different kind of level crossing signal) Today the crossing was receiving ongoing maintenance. You can see one of the workmen in the above shot taken yesterday (May 1, 2015). 88A and 88B Buses were diverted for most of the day. Those big boxy freight cars zooming across Wicksteed are known as Car Tracks and are used to transport new cars, a huge business for the railways.
