On January 22, 1895, the Toronto Railway Company opened the Roncesvalles Carhouse. Today, it remains the oldest of the two carhouses on Toronto's streetcar system. The original building housed 14 trailer tracks and could handle 75 Peter Witt vehicles. When the TTC took over in 1921 the old car barn was demolished. Today, the Roncesvalles Carhouse has 25 full length tracks and stores 149 streetcars. The carhouse looks much the same as it did in 1921.
