Have Metropass, will travel

It is cool having a Metropass. I can get on any bus or any streetcar anytime and I don't have to make sure I have enough change or have a token. I can spontaneously decide to get off the bus I'm on and take a different one without having to make sure I have a transfer. If I'm waiting too long for the subway to come, I can change my mind about going somewhere; I can get off the transit system and decide to walk or drive instead, without feeling like I wasted a token. Or if I have some unexpected downtime when I'm in the core of the city I can spontaneously decide to go for a ride on the Sheppard line just because I have not been on the Sheppard line yet since it opened five years ago.

The Sheppard-Yonge Station used to be called just Sheppard back before the new line was built. Back when I used to ride the subway as a young boy. Just like I did today.

I got off the northbound train heading up the Yonge line and climbed up the stairs, following the signs towards the tracks of the Sheppard line. I got to the top of the stairs - and there it was. Wow! A brand new subway station! It was like seeing something out of my dreams, a mysterious, secret subway station that existed only in my imagination. Only this one existed in the real world.

Like a young boy, I rode at the front of the first car, looking into the tunnel as the train moved. Like when I rode on the Spadina line when it opened.

What secrets do these underground tunnels know? What mysteries do they hide? What tracks exist, going into unknown places, concealed from the general public?
