in the yard with a small protrusion which lifted a wheel on the fourth car of a subway train. The protrusion was about 1.25 cm (0.49 in) thick and 20–23 cm (7.9–9.1 in) long, and located on the inside of the rail. In addition, since 2015, the defective track had been missing a "kick plate", a custom-made item, which would have guided the wheel. Also, a TTC roadmaster (who does track inspections) found that the switch was not properly fastened with braces to the track bed; the braces were either missing or improperly installed.

Since the Keele Yard's 2017 re-opening, most activity occurs in the late evenings and early mornings. Four trains plus some work cars use the yard. Each night, subway workcars typically leave the Keele Yard before 2 a.m. when the four passenger trains start to arrive. At night, the trains are tested

After a derailment on
January 22, 2020, the Keele Yard was temporarily shut down until its rails could be inspected for defects. A train leaving the yard partly derailed and fouled the mainline forcing a shutdown of a portion of line 2 for 4 hours during the morning rush hours. The cause was a rail

The yard consists of four tracks each long enough to hold two six-car trains. Each track enters an underground carhouse at the east end of the yard providing interior storage for half of the yard's eight train capacity. There is a locked passage for TTC staff between the carhouse and
