Looking north up Lansdowne from south of Bloor in the early 1960's. I'm not sure what this TTC vehicle is, perhaps something to do with rail grinding....
A little research has revealed that this is a sand car and was used to delivery sand to the various car houses. Sand was used to give the street cars traction on slippery days. This car was scrapped in 1967.
