For about 1.5 years I worked in a building just S of Summerhill station,
on Price St.  This building is remarkably not only for its awful 1950s
exterior, but because it lies directly over the subway line.  In fact,
it is the first building over the subway as it dives underground between
Rosedale and Summerhill.  The opposite sidewalk is sort of a bridge
railing, and then there're tracks.  We were on the 2nd floor.  So
basically, I could look out of my office window and see at least to the
Canadian Tire store, looking straight through Rosedale station.  We even
had a web 'subway cam' for a short time.

****wimper****

LOL @ Iain!!!

I know that section of track!!! Why can't I find an appartment with a view
like that?

For what it's worth, Summerhill is my favourite "toilet" station. It's SO
NICE. The orange tiles are just gorgeous!!

The noise and vibration are quite noticeable... until you've been
working there for about 3 weeks, by which time you tune them out.

Why on EARTH would you tune them out?! :)

(Exactly....)


Nice postings, Jeff and Iain.  Like I said in the previous post, electric
trains wouldn't make as much noise...diesel engines are another story.
And I think, if subway cars were constantly passing by underneath where
I was working, and I could see them out the window as they were passing,
I know I would be constantly distracted....no matter how long I had
worked there...
