The original [[Yonge Street]] subway line went from Union subway station near the [[Union Station (Toronto)|namesake railway station]] north to [[Eglinton station]]. Dignitaries, including the premier and the mayor, rode the first train that morning, going north from the yards at [[Davisville station]], and then from Eglinton station south along the entire line. The line was then opened to the public, and that day at 2:30&nbsp;pm, the last streetcar made its final trip along the [[Yonge streetcar line]].<ref name="75yrs">{{cite book |url=http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDM553511&R=553511 |title=The TTC story: the first seventy-five years |publisher=[[Dundurn Press]] |first=Mike |last=Filey |date=1996 |pages=67–71, 87–89 |isbn=155002244X |access-date=February 1, 2017 |archive-date=September 23, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160923015637/http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDM553511&R=553511 |url-status=live }}</ref>
