In recognition of the original use of the trail, the City is building a number of raised seating areas to mark the 'Lost Stations' along the Beltline.
Also along the trail is the Robert Bateman Parkette named after the Canadian painter who lived just a few steps away on Chaplin Crescent and grew to love nature in part due to the time he spent as a kid on the Belt Line.
List of all subjects. You can also see all the historic photos for a given neighbourhood. We also have a list of all the photos arranged by date.
And you can also go up a level to see the other photos we've put under the category of streetcars_and_buses photos.
