Oshawa Railway
If anyone is looking for a prototype electric line to connect with their mainline steam / diesel railroad line the Oshawa Railway may interest you. It was a reminant of a system that once operated streetcars as well as steeple cab electrics. There was street running into the 60s.

This was a very interesting Electric R/W which served Oshawa Residents and Factorys
G M in particular The City of Oshawa Lies East of Toronto and borders on Lake Ontario. 1/2 hours drive for me The book depicted is by Clayton M. Morgan, with Charles D. Taws. To my knowledge the only one dealing with this fascinating history. foot note. AS Manchester England became the industrial revolution driving force of the UK early 1900 century. So Oshawa was called the 'Manchester of Canada". in the year 1912. I intend to find the streets the tracks were in and anything else that is left for a photo "then and now". One day soon.
