Those stations are on the service roads (I live near the one by the 50 Road exit that is on the South Service Rd.)and you have to exit the highway completely into that municipality to access them, again, unlike the 400 series rest stop gas stations.

I remember the toll bridge in Hamilton, think we still have a couple of the tokens.

I recall the original school in the photo. It was on the south side of the QEW, adjacent to the current OPP station. I believe the 1938 view is looking east towards Toronto.
