Streetcars use 600V as does the subway. The new Eglinton line will be 750V though and won't have loops for turning around.
You don't think that the TTC might be forward planning for 750V all around? Remember it was TTC staff I spoke to who told me the change was to accommodate higher voltage.
Just *imagine* the size of the series resistor you would have to install to drive one of those 600V motors with 750V ;-)
