Lansdowne Ave. Industrial Lead

[TinGoat]

@TinGoat- Ok, now you're starting to scare me! Small world, I guess.

Do you know if it was rail served? The one I'm doing is freelanced, based on info from Lance Mindheim. It just uses ICI's name. It would be neat to have an actual prototype for it, though.

Yes, once upon a time the Benjamin Moore Warehouse was Rail Served. I'm not sure if it was the long spur up Cawthra Avenue from Canadian Pacific or a shorter siding off of Canadian National.

I've taken a Google Map and made some notes on it:
   

The West Toronto Junction is were 4 railways came together in the late 1800's.

Credit Valley Railway from the West, which turned south to Queen's Warf on Lake Ontario
Ontario & Quebec [owned by Canadian Pacific] from the east
Toronto Grey & Bruce [North/South]
Grand Trunk [North/South]

There were a lot of industries in the area, from the Paint Factory [Benjamin Moore] to Heintzman Piano and Cambell Milling [Cereal Factory]
Not to mention the Soap Factory and Canada Cycle & Motor Co. Ltd....
