      Toronto's oldest Redcap, Jake Charendoff, sits waiting for new business at Toronto's Union Station, while behind him sits redcap Bert Fortune. Charendoff picked up his first piece of baggage at Union Station on the day it opened in 1927. But, although he claims the title oldest, he refuses to say exactly how old he is.
