Hi Bill , I was down town last year and had an opportunity to see both ends. Broadview and Dundas retrakage . That was a streetcar fan day. Will you be at the TTS on the 13 Feb?

Here is a nice evening picture , I have a feeling it may have been taken either Ray Madden ( who operated the night car with his choice PCC he loved them) or Frank Hood. A fan trip perhaps? Anyway Dundas Station has two Streetcar Lines running into it, King Street car and Dundas Car as well...

Hi Folks, I am scratch building this model and the shell is ready to paint. I think it is 1306 B C Electric, as I have researched all I can to make sure. Texas Electric was an other option but I could not find a picture with the same front doors. So the problem is paint colours. I...

Nice picture Lester, It does look hot. Can you change your camera settings to Aug 1944?:D :D :rolleyes: Just playing with you. Love the Loco.:thumb:

Railways over the years have brought products to these ships and collected goods also, I never gave much thought to the Men who sail these mighty vessels on these lakes. Here is what a friend sent me. Ever wonder why the Edmund Fitzgerald didn't make it? A little taste of the...

Hi David, This may sound like clairvoyance:D :D :D :D The destination is Roncesvalles, so on that day in time the car was running in to Roncesvalles car barn, I thing the picture shows the car on Collage near Ossington west bound, if it was an all day service car the turn would be...

May be of interest The short turns are not just for run in cars. If I was turned at Coxwell on the Carlton line for (shall we say the guy ahead is so late he has made me 5 mins late behind him), I am turned to accommodate the GAP coming down from Main station that has been caused , So I...

I was out your way in 05 visiting an old friend, I was looking for traces of the B C Electrics. All I found was the tourist track and that was closed:cry:

It closed in 1988. Here is a bit of history Jeosho. Harbour Quay 1 Ship St. “Canadian Pacific Railway Station” Designated 2005 Reason for Designation: The Goderich CP railway station, referenced in the Heritage Railway Stations Inventory in 1987, remains locally significant and is...

I captured 3032 backing into the side track just west of the Seaton trestle Bridge in Pickering. I was taking grandson William and Lab Barron for a winter walk when we heard the train slowly backing up. On sending the picture to Bill, who runs the C P roster web page for consideration...

Great stuff Bill, These will bring the buildings to the right time frame.

No name on this photo as I saved it Years ago. But a beautiful shot you must agree. Note the cobble stones,, long gone now On King Street South of Queen Street heading to Dundas West Station

Great videos Bill.

Yes all you have to do is look up , with sweeping brush in one hand and switch iron in the other, once you are under the frog the switch is slightly ahead.:thumb: If the switch is a manual throw= After the streetcar has turned, do not forget to walk back and reset for main line.:D :thumb:

Here you go. Pittsburgh Railways took "delivery of # 100, which was by most all accounts, the first delivered PCC car in the world"[1]. Production continued in North America until the early 1950s, with 4978 units built; thousands more PCCs and direct descendants were produced in Europe...

NICE PICTURES How did you get up there Bill? They are very informative shots of trackage and overhead. Man I loved my time down there , although stressful to a point, like the OWMYGOD bar that we GRIP when cars take our stopping space when in a full emergancy stop. YIKESSS. I will say...
