The fact that it continues to circulate is the reason I posed the question. Being somewhat curious, it's nice to know the story behind the picture. Thanks again to everyone who has chimed in on this thread. Mark Tomlonson Do more things that make you forget to check your phone.

Sorry late to the party, this picture circulates every few years, I always understood it to be at the corner of Bruce and Ritson.? The house in the picture is now demolished and a new property across the roadbed has been built, however the house in the background
is still there and visible on Google Earth (with new siding).

The image is close, but the details on the house (porch railing, a "roof" above the second floor windows) makes it doubtful it's the same location. It could easily be in the same area as the houses are about the same age.
Thanks to all of you for your replies.

The "masts" appear to be a couple of TV antennas (in the days before cable ? ) and perhaps a ham radio?antenna (on the right). Alas, that makes it unlikely that they are much help in identifying the location.
However, a quick google search of the image finds another, taken at the junction of Ritson Rd S and Bruce Street in Oshawa, Ontario.?
This is a branch to a GM stamping plant. Looks like pretty good match!
Careful examination of Google Maps images shows the patched street on Bruce Street where the tracks used to run.
