When the Yonge Subway opened, it not only removed a number of streetcar routes from service, it rendered large numbers of streetcars surplus, and ended a few special streetcar operations. One of those was the Witt Trailer Train. The sight of Witts hauling trailers behind was a common one through the 1930s and 40s, but it started to disappear after the War. In the early 1950s, only Yonge and Kingston Road still operated trailers, and then the TTC decided to abandon trailer operation on Kingston Road. That left the Yonge line as the last major Witt-trailer operation on the system, and it was to fall on March 30, 1954. When that disappeared, it would be the end of trailer-train service throughout North America.

To remember the Witt trailers, a charter was organized. Below you shall find the pictures to prove it...

	Witt 2932 and trailer pause at the entrance to Dufferin Loop. This scene reenacts the Kingston Road Tripper service that, at the time, ran to this loop.
	Witt car 2932 and trailer trundle down Avenue Road. Trailer service was not recommended for Bay because of the steepness of this hill, but this charter was able to operate safely.
