Description Here is TTC 5933, a 1986-89 UTDC H6 subway car, waiting for passengers at Keele Station. With the retirement of the H5 cars in June 2013, the H6s, which run on the Bloor-Danforth Line, are currently the TTC's oldest active subway cars.

The open layout of Keele Station allows for some interesting photo opportunities. Unlike most other stations, there are no dividers or pillars separating the two tracks, which makes shots like this one possible.

An interesting feature of this particular H6 car is that it was retrofitted with a roll sign from a T1, a similar-looking class of subway car that also serves the Bloor-Danforth Line.

You’ll also notice the play on words in the title I chose for this submission. The fact the H6 is similar to G6 made it an obvious choice .
