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.

Greetings Walter. Do you have any maps or track plans you can share? I am working to map all of Canada's former electric street railways and my work is available free here: www.cermc.webs.com. I look forward to your reply. Paul Delamere
