Eglinton station is the only one of the original 1954 subway stations (Eglinton to Union on Line 1) to retain its original vitreous marble wall tiles.

The Toronto subway is a rapid transit system serving Toronto and the neighbouring city of Vaughan in Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). The subway system is a rail network consisting of three heavy-capacity rail lines operating predominantly underground.
Track configurations become more complicated where lines meet (at the Spadina–St. George–Museum–Bay–Yonge junction and at Sheppard–Yonge), and at the entrances to subway yards. On the heavy rail lines (1, 2 and 4), tracks usually continue for roughly the length of a train beyond the last station on a line; these are known as tail tracks.
