From the Innes pedestrian overpass? Oddly, I've walked under it many times, but never over it.
An interesting part of the walk is the stretch over St. Clair where the old platforms are (somewhat) in place.

There's more trackage and some even downtown right outside steam whistle and the CN Tower. I volunteer at the roundhouse, but I know alittle bit more of abandoned trackage around Toronto and suburbs.

^Ha! - I forgot about that one...
That's the one!
One of the more intricate pedestrian bridges in the city, given the rather short distance it spans.

I've always thought it a little excessive, given that either Rogers or St. Clair really aren't that far away. I like it though.

It had been a while since I'd taken one of my patented Urban Wilderness treks and, having exhausted all the major rivers, ravines, and hydro corridors in town, I thought I'd revisit this old thread and take a stroll down one of Toronto's little known (and, these days, little used) rail corridors - the Canpa Subdivision; a relatively short freight line connecting the Galt and Oakville Subdivisions in southern Etobicoke. Originally built in 1910 as the "Mimico Cut-Off", it gets its current name from the Can(adian) Pa(cific) interlocking tower at the southern end of its run (for further historic info see here: http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/CPR_Bruce/Canpa.htm). I, however, begin my trek at the north end of the tracks near Kipling Station, where the Canpa breaks off from the Galt Sub and heads past the Manby Transmission Station:

From atop the Queensway overpass I look out over where I've just been, before heading on towards Evans Avenue via the Gardiner/QEW underpass:

The final stretch south of Horner where the Canpa curves west to meet its namesake at the Oakville Subdivision:
