Original Toronto Star caption: A whole new career for Toronto's mayor. Toronto Mayor David Crombie donned a conductor's hat and took the controls of a subway train carrying VIPs today to officially open the first leg of the North Yonge subway extension to Lawrence Ave. North York Mayor Mel Lastman and Premier William Davis also took a turn at driving the train; and then they and 400 guests took part in ceremonies at the York Mills station.
