Union Station prepares to retire a vast interlocking system that's guided every train in and out of Toronto for almost 90 years.
Someone sent me this link about the interlocking system at Toronto's Union Station and another member I shared the link with suggested I should post the link on this forum .

I don't recall seeing the switch gear shown in the interlocking shown in the Metrolinx News aticle but maybe there would be more about it in some of the other railway or Electrical News magazines on archive.org .
They are saying late 20 s in the Metrolinx article so that may be too new for some of the magazines to be out of copyright for archive.org.
Maybe more here I didn't take time to check right now.

that were made in a style similar to the ones discussed in this thread
