Rolling Stock
Davisville Yard is home to a small portion of the TTC's revenue rolling stock and some of the Commission's work cars that operate on the Yonge-University-Spadina line. Approximately 50 H5 and T1 subway cars are based at Davisville, although for maintenance record purposes Davisville has no cars allocated to it. Due to the track configuration of the yard, the facility is not able to accommodate most of new Toronto Rocket subway cars. They are generally stored and serviced at the larger Wilson Complex, however they are occasionally stored at Davisville. With the arrival of the TR trains, it is expected that Davisville yard will displace the T1's (including those that service the Sheppard line) to Greenwood as the older H-series trains are decommissioned.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies;
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
“However low and poor the taking Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
