Trains at Davisville yard, circa 2009The Davisville Subway Yard is a rail yard on the Toronto Transit Commission's Yonge subway line.
The yard is located adjoining the Davisville Station, between Eglinton and St. Clair Stations. When the subway line first opened in 1954, this was the only yard on the subway system, as there was only service between Union and Eglinton stations. The yard is next to the TTC headquarters at 1900 Yonge Street. This yard now houses all the trains that service the Sheppard line.
