context_page_description: Toronto and Scarboro' Electric Railway, Light and Power Company was established in August 1892 to provide street railway service to the Upper Beaches district within the City of Toronto, Ontario and to the neighbouring Township of Scarborough. Except for two branches, the line ran as a radial along Kingston Road.
  In 1904, the TSERLPC became the Scarboro Division of the Toronto and York Radial Railway, a subsidiary of the Toronto Railway Company. In 1922, the radial line was acquired by the City of Toronto which contracted the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario operate the line as the Hydro-Electric Railways: Toronto and York Division. After 1927, the radial service was operated by the Toronto Transportation Commission but with city streetcar service being extended to the Birchmount Loop. Beyond Birchmount, radial service ceased by 1936.
context_section_description: On January 12, 1927, the Toronto Transportation Commission started operating the T&YRR lines under contract including the Scarboro line. The TTC connected Scarboro radial tracks to the city system at the Bingham Loop. It also closed the Warden Carhouse (just east of Warden Avenue), and transferred operations to the Russell Carhouse under the TTC's Radial Department.
  On November 18, 1928, the TTC extended the Kingston Road streetcar line with double-track east to a new Birchmount Loop, where radial passengers could now transfer to the city streetcars. At the loop, there was a station-like structure containing a waiting room.
  After the 1929 season, Scarborough Heights Park permanently closed.
  On July 13, 1930, radial service east of Scarborough Post Office (just beyond Eglinton Avenue) was replaced by Gray Coach bus service.
  On June 25, 1936, Scarboro radial service ended being replaced by buses on the next day.
