Okay, when I was sent this link, I made a mental list of the amount of gin I would need to get through this e-book history of GO Transit. But I shit you not, I read most of it completely sober and get this, found it actually interesting.

I guarantee you, when you're done, you'll have a whole different perspective and you'll find yourself sharing these historical tidbits with loved ones who will appear fascinated by your tale of turnstile logistics and the drama behind the timetables but really, they're not gonna be interested. Oh, they'll look interested but deep down, they're fantasizing about how to destroy your larynx so you'll shut the hell up.
PS. I wrote this whole post after having consumed three glasses (full 8 oz each) of Mission Hill white white of some kind. If it made no sense, I've done my job.

I'll just wait for the movie instead.
Ba ha ha!
Or the CBC miniseries.
Ohhhhh and we know that'll be a ratings bonanza!!!
(Cue dramatic music)
Actor enters 10-storey tall Bay Street office "tower". People are in cubicles smoking. Rotary phone (in green) rings. Actor answers. Listens. Stubs out cigarette. Walks to window and looks south towards the CN tracks and says quietly, "Oh yes, there will be trains". Sweeps his hand across the horizon. "From Oshawa to Hamilton". "My God." He clenches his fist to his chest. "We can do this".
Cue commercial.

Four words. Hys-ter-i-cal.
Aw shucks. Thanks.
Anyone care to write Scene 2? Someone needs to throw a "Dammit, Jim" in the dialogue.
Love the "green" rotary dial phone!!! If only Al Waxman weren't dead, it was the role he was born to play!
Wow! where do find this? Rule 107 finally makes sense! Trains can't enter a station while another one is there because there maybe people on the tracks boarding the train!
Ron, Dan-1 sent it to me.
Also, despite its title, this appears to be wildly popular with TCT readers. Over 125 people clicked the link.
I've read the whole eBook. Took a few glasses of wine but I did it.
