The entire Spadina roundhouse, car shops, coach yard and adjacent freight yards are indeed gone. The first three were replaced by a sports stadium (originally known as the "Skydome" and now known as the "Rogers Centre") and condominiums. Part of the freight yards on the other side of the main line is used as the North Bathurst Yard for storing GO commuter trains between the morning and evening weekdy rush hours. The roundhouse that remains is the adjacent Canadian Pacific John Street roundhouse, which was/is located a bit to the east of the former CN Spadina roundhouse.
Great shot--brings back many memories, Gary!

The Entire Spadina Facility, Roundhouse Shops and Coachyard are now gone. The existing Roundhouse is the CP John Street Roundhouse. It now houses a railway museum and Brewery.

The entire CN Roundhouse and Yards are now gone. It was torn down in 1986. The CP John St. roundhouse is still there
and houses a rail museum and The Steam Whistle Brewery. It is quite often mistaken for the CN roundhouse.
