Obviously, I've never taken the UP Express (a weird little train that goes from Toronto's Union Station to the Pearson International Airport).
I was taking either the GO train or VIA Rail past there every day while they were building it and when it first ran. Never understood why it wasn't made as an aboveground subway extension or as an LRT on the streetcar system.

1. A Nippon-Sharyo DMU, the weird little train that runs from Toronto's Union Station to Pearson International Airport, photo taken at Mimico Station (source: Wikipedia). The front car has silver and gold paint, the letters 'UP' stencilled on the front. It has a sloped front window, as if it should go fast.
