The Toronto Teaser!

[DSC]

^You gave up on us way too early.

Here's more of a WHAT the heck is it rather than a where is it...

Having just cycled past it, I know that it is in the rail yard just east of the Don Roadway and north of Lakeshore. It belongs to Hydro One and looked to me like a machine to lay cable but it is strange looking!

I'm guessing it's some kind of cable layer.

still not too hard:

Westbound on-ramp to the Gardner from Lakeshore as it crosses the Humber?

The suspense is killing me!

Well, in light of 42's vanishing act, here's another teaser pic.

Yeah, sorry about disappearing. I am away right now, and only visiting UT on a spotty basis. You got it Casaguy!

@ Casaguy
It's a schnabel car. They're used for moving heavy, awkwardly shaped/oversized freight, in this case transformers.

Thanks for the info and photo 000. I was trying to imagine how that contraption would work.

Here's another teaser pic:

Where is it?

City housing on the west side of Sherbourne north of Esplanade.

 

[casaguy]

Wow. The correct answer in under a minute. I think that's a new time record.

How about this one:

Well, it's a Toronto Hydro Building - but they have many!

 

[smuncky]

is it the one on the corner of wellington and windsor?

 

[casaguy]

Well, it's a Toronto Hydro Building - but they have many!

You're right. Kinda like posting a pic of a pole without any reference. Try this version then...
