Original Toronto Star caption: Are we on the track? This GO train guard seems to be making sure his train is on the right lines as it cruises slowly down the Don Valley today. The tracks were under water south of Pottery Rd. and the Bayview Extension was closed for more than an hour near King St. when the river covered it.
