The '505 Dundas' is a
streetcar line run by the
Toronto Transit Commission in
Toronto, Ontario. It runs on two parallel pairs of tracks laid in the same lanes used by car traffic. Two 600 volt
direct current overhead cables supply the electrical power to the streetcars.
The route starts at
Dundas West subway station on the
Bloor Danforth line and goes south along
Dundas St. West. The street curves southeast and passes Howard Park. Here it briefly merges with the
506 Carlton line as it passes over a bridge for the main
CNR line that runs down to
Union Station. To the east of the bridge past Lansdowne Avenue it continues on its own again. At Ossington Avenue, it turns eastward and passes through Toronto's original
Chinatown and goes by the
Art Gallery of Ontario before meeting up with the
St. Patrick subway station at
University Avenue.
Shortly after that it crosses
Yonge Street and passes by the
Dundas subway station. It continues east towards
Broadview Avenue where it turns north and merges with the
504 King streetcar line. Both streetcars end their journey at
Broadview subway station on the Bloor-Danforth line.
