The Eglinton Maintenance and Storage Facility is a rail yard and vehicle service centre for Line 5 Eglinton of the Toronto subway. The facility is located near the line's western terminus at Mount Dennis station, on lands formerly occupied by Kodak's Toronto campus.
The Eglinton line uses Flexity Freedom vehicles on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge and is not connected to the Toronto streetcar system, which uses 4 ft 10+7⁄8 in (1,495 mm) Toronto gauge.
The facility was substantially complete in October 2018, and was ready for the delivery of the first Flexity Freedom vehicle on January 8, 2019. Five more were delivered by February 2019.
