Toronto Telus House - 25 York Street | 136.24m | 30s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

In fact those terms were derived from the latin - a pippypoovium was an overdecorated antechamber in a villa, where visitors would gather to be impressed by the ostentatious wealth of the owner before they were introduced, while a doodadium was a factory for making clip-on architrave decorations and egg-and-dart moldings, usually located in the drecko suburbium district on the outskirts of town, near the refuse tip.
 
Somehow, words like "pippypoovium" and "doodadium" seem to belong to someplace with a moon cut into the door
 
"Doodadium" sounds like what was discovered by kids playing doctor way back in Roman times.

CN needs to sell off the land under several of those tracks that are never used. How many of the lines actually see trains pass along them? There are many opportunities throughout downtown for tracks to give way to development. This location could see half of the tracks gone, the space between Spadina and Bathurst could see half of the tracks gone, and the tracks at the Don River bend should be cut in half.

Those are bypassing tracks when CN Halton lines is block or over capacity. CN reroute the trains to enter the yard from the east. Some times CN bypass Toronto with trains going east 100% and use the tracks .

Some times you will find cuts of cars store on them.

Giving up tracks come with a price and the City is finding that the hard way. Where rail tracks once exist could be used for transit today, but development will not allow it.

Cities that gave up tracks are wishing it never happen. The few that still have it are now using it for transit.
 
Oh all those tracks downtown are used, and in fact we could use more in many places. It would definitely be a huge mistake, as drum 118 said, to lose any of those tracks.
 
at rush hour there at least 7-8 tracks re being used up By GO alone... Via uses 2-3 more.
