Rollsigns from Toronto, ON
Birchmount Garage
This linen front rollsign has 64 exposures. Through research, it was
found that this version's creation date is around February 29, 1988.
This Birchmount rollsign is version "B-59". Exposures that are red,
yellow and black are the original design. From 1985 on, the TTC used
only black for regular service routes to save money. The blue exposures
represent overnight service routes on their "Blue Night" network.
The TTC's Birchmount is one of the oldest in the system, and currently is the oldest
bus garage still in operation. Birchmount Garage and its routes primarily serve the
southern and southeastern area of Toronto.
This set of front and side mylar rollsigns are off of 1975 built GMC T6H-5307N
New Look #8091. They both have a print date of January 17, 1995, and each have
26 exposures. Unofficially, these Birchmount signs are listed as version "B-60"

Their respective sign tags are shown below. Because some of the print is very narrow, the
side sign image (right) is two times larger than the other scale drawings to enhance detail.
