Mini Gumball
Here's a shot of the last remaining mini gumball along the Yonge subway open cut. There used to be a lot of these gumballs here but they were removed when the new poles and Lumecs were put in, some of the old concrete poles are still there along with the arm brackets.

I don't mind the Lumecs but I like the gumballs much better!

Me too, I thought the gumballs were all gone until I saw one when I was looking out the subway.

Oh and this is a T series car right?

Wow. Nice that one was left behind. Smile

Yeah, you can still the stumps of the other poles too.

I see two other entire poles up. no arms or lights though.

You can still see the arm stumps on the pole next to the subway train.
streetlight98   [Oct 31, 2011 at 03:04 AM]
Yep, I see them.......

Did you check out this pic from the 50s?
joe_347V   [Mar 14, 2016 at 02:12 AM]
I believe this is still there, although the other 50's concrete poles have been either removed or cut down.

I wonder if that gumball fixture was originally in the median and they moved it over to the right side a long time ago? Confused Or unless it really was there all along and the crews took down the other arm and gumball.
