Toronto snow plough TP-2 - a photo on Flickriver

            A photograph of Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) snow plough No. TP-2.

The photo reverse is initialled with the photographer and/or negative owner name ADP (A. D. Packer), and annotated with what looks like a date of 22.4.48

I have no details of the TTC rolling stock, and the only thing I could find relating to TP-2 is the following. It may or may not be the same works car as in the photograph.
Wikipedia:-
"Compressor cars no. 1 and no. 2 were mobile air recharging stations for streetcars before they were equipped with their own on-board air compressors. Both were box motors; no. 1 had a single truck; no. 2 was double-truck. No. 2 had a varied career with the TTC; it was converted into an express freight motor for the Lake Simcoe line in 1927, then as snow plow TP-2 in 1936, then as subway rail maintenance car RT-1 for the Yonge subway."

If there are any errors or omissions in the above description please let me know. Thanks.

📷  Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location.  📷
