Rollsign Gallery - Toronto, Ontario

Rollsigns from Toronto, ON
Queensway Garage

This front linen rollsign has 49 exposures. Through research, it was
found that this version was created around June 24, 1984. It is shown
on the sign to be version "Q-38". The most notable point about this
sign is that there is no blue "Blue Night" exposures. Exposures that
are red, yellow and black are the original design. As well, the "Races"
and "Special" are from the milticolour era of rollsigns. From 1985 on,
the TTC used only black for regular service routes to save money.

The TTC's Queensway Garage is located in south Etobicoke.
Its routes primarily serve the southwest and west central area of Toronto.
