I remember how fast the elevators in that thing were. Oh and that glass floor was pretty awesome

they actually slowed them down to around 10 mph from 18 mph a fiew yeas ago. :P reducing the partial-weightlessness tht occured when the elevators started down from the top, causing injuries with seniors and those with balance imparements.

yeah I could see why that'd cause some problems

indeed. the tower as the tallest "free standing" observation tower in the world for over 30 years, ( at 1850 feet) and still the tallest in the western hemisphere. ( the glass floor is not healhy for anyone with vertigo or height fears *lol*
its worth visiting it to go to the "moon deck" to see the view.

I've been there once, before they slowed down the elevators... Was nice.

And sadly, CN sold the tower to real estate conglomerate Trizec, who ruined the whole experience.

Always loved tall buildings, never got to see this one in person before.

That was in the movie Canadian Bacon hehe

Interesting juxtaposition...but I think your shutter speed is too high.

Is that an operational Geep, or static only?

I believe it's just static.

Awww. x3

By the way, our local Florida Central is set to acquire two ex-CN GP9RMs soon!

Ok, take 3 (can we pleeeeease have an "edit post" function?!?)...

Here's another view... the first picture from

The caption to the first picture says:
"It wasn't in my plans to go by train, though octagonal cars deserve curiosity."

(The translation comes up as "octahedral" but they're actually decahedral.)

Obviously my favourite graphic designer (who designed some of the Moscow Metro carriages) hadn't encountered the Hawker-Siddeley bi-level coaching stock!

Also the keen-eyed will notice the base of the CN Tower in the upper right of the picture.
