Please correct description of location of the streetcars:
1388 turning from Roncesvalles onto Queensway
2170 turning from Queen Street West onto Roncesvalles

"King Street / The Queensway / Roncesvalles" should probably say "The Queensway / Roncesvalles / Queen Street West" as King Street West isn't really captured on the shot.
Thanks! This comment was taken into account

Интересно, куда вела двухпутная линия в юго-западном направлении от перекрёстка, и как давно её разобрали?

Actually, in 1923 The Queensway didn't connect to this intersection so Queen Street West was both east and west of this intersection. Track west of the intersection lead to Roncessvalles Yard and Sunnyside Loop, while the tracks further west were along Lake Shore Rd (heading roughly southwest of the intersection). Tracks were moved from Lake Shore to Queensway in 1957. The line went to the same place as the current line Humber Loop and Long Branch

Direction of tracks at this intersection were north (Roncesvalles), west (northwest)and east (Queen Street West), southeast (King Street West) and southwest (Lake Shore Rd).
