About The Project

TTC’s Wilson Yard is undergoing a significant expansion of the rail yard and supporting maintenance facilities, which is required to accommodate the needs for Toronto Rocket train storage and as a result of the introduction of the Spadina Subway Extension and increasing service demands on Line 1 (Yonge University Spadina). This expansion will add eight new storage tracks to the facility with room to store 16 trains, as well as an expanded car house for servicing Toronto Rocket trains, new run-around connections, and a connection to Downsview station.

The entire project is expected to be completed in 2020.
