From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 506 Carlton is a streetcar line run by the Toronto Transit Commission in Toronto, Canada. It runs from Main Street Station to High Park. It runs from the eastern terminus of Main Street Station south to Gerrard Street East. It then turns west onto Gerrard St. E. and runs to Parliament Street where it turns north to Carlton Street. The streetcar goes west on Carlton, which turns into College Street at Yonge Street. There, it passes College subway station. Continuing west, it passes Queen's Park subway station as it makes its way to the end of College Street at Dundas Street West. It then runs west on Dundas Street West to Howard Park Avenue, which it follows into its western terminus in High Park.
