Description: Toronto Transit Commission trolleybus 9287 on route 89-Weston Road in 1987, in Toronto, Ontario. It is travelling south on Weston Road just north of Albion Road/Walsh Avenue, starting a new trip on route 89. The vehicle was built in 1972 by Flyer Industries Ltd. (which later became New Flyer Industries), but fitted – by the TTC's own staff – with recycled electrical equipment taken from 1947/48 CCF-Brill trolleybuses being retired. Route 89 reached this location when a very short extension of the 1948-opened route came into use, in April 1973. Toronto's Flyer trolleybuses were withdrawn in January 1992, and service on route 89 also ended permanently in that month. The last trolleybus service in Toronto (routes 4 and 6) ended in July 1993.
