it’s ironic that a museum that has decades worth of timeless transit vehicles isn’t accessible by transit. But still cool collection, just gotta figure how i’ll get there

The 1st Generation of the UTDC ICTS Mk1 Skytrains in Vancouver are already 40 years old & are gonna start retiring. I feel like some Mk1s should be preserved & sent to HCRR not only due to their history of the revolutionary ICTS technology but also due to the fact that the Mk1s were also built in Ontario. Hopefully HCRR could spare some space for at least a 2-car Mk1 trainset. I'm sure railfans would love to see some preserved Mk1s especially those from Toronto since TTC's Line 3 is gone.

This was my second visit here last September and from southern interior of BC. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here, my grandfather worked for the TTC for 30 years and I remember he got his gold card to ride for free, as a youngster I would ride on line 1 and 2 and always ride up front with him, many happy memories

1:45 CLRV lol

This is the most amazing promotional video! Thank you for posting this to all platforms!

0:57 TTC CLRV is survived from scrap heap 😊I used to ride those

Dundas streetcar went right by my house 😮

Those old extended streetcars look great.

No tents

Awesome historic video.

I took the grand kits to the museum and they had a ball and…so did my wife and I. an excellent video and a fun place to visit. 👍 😀

My god. It looks like service was every 30 seconds back then.

Parts along Kingston Road remain almost the same. Different businesses and paintjobs but very similar. King looking west from Bay, there's nothing left from that view.

Cool! The tiling on the Tamblyn frontage was there until 2022. Not a big thing but it lasted quite awhile.

Nice! Still a bit of track behind Woodbine station on Strathmore. Not as much as before because they removed the bit that was on Cedarvale.

Neat seeing Dufferin and King before drug culture took over. Every bar on that block is crawling with addicts and dealers today. Friendly people but all working through issues. My family lived in Parkdale from the 1800s until the 1950s. Lots of stories and the stories continue.

I recall seeing the 4000 at the Ex in ‘88. It was the first time I saw one of the first generation versions. I grew up in the 70s riding the subsequent PCCs until they were subbed out by the CLRVs.

Great museum to visit!👍

It's well worth a visit to Halton County Radial Railway Museum. Lots of history and much to enjoy!

Cool. Was there actually air in those tires or are they solid rubber? Wherever could you get replacements?

Beautiful video! The colour is amazing, thanks for sharing this.

great to see it moving, can't wait for Christmas

Truly an odd little vehicle ….

So cool 😎!

This is awesome!

I went here on a field trip

It almost looks like the New York Westchester and Boston Railway interurban streetcar and that railway ended on December 31, 1937 because it went bankrupt and never went to Boston. The New Haven R.R.went ther first by the 1850s and electrified their line in 1907. Also the New Haven had both local and express tracks to NYC. But am glad to see one big interurban R.R. preserved and running.

Thank-you!

40 years to soon before it’s time.

Why did it close?

I can remember clearly those boom guides , throwing sparks and disconnecting quite often. But i still loved to see those old cars coming. It was a treat to ride in them

I hope you come back and do it again

The day before I was born. Nice🙂

i was on those street cars

Great footage , just wish you had some going through Hespeler

The exhibition car, boy do i remember that line

I rode plenty of these old boats as a kid. I loved them , but i clearly remember the pully boom disconecting from the overhead cables and sparks flying. Once i was on a gerrard car going uphill on upper gerrard east and it stalled out .A car came backwards from main station and towed us back to main

WHERE I GREW UP THOSE WERE THE DAYS

I love the music🙂🙂

Will the museum ever run any of the trolley buses in the future?

The older PCC streetcars had bigger windows than the more familiar post-war ones. The Bloor streetcar line would soon be discontinued, replaced by the new subway along this route. It’s hard to believe that Toronto almost lost its streetcar system in 1972.

I love this!!!! I see my house with the white picket fence.

I finally get to see what Toronto looked like the year that I was born. Beautiful👍👍

Back before the union told drivers to slow down at points. The PCC cars used to haul through intersections.

I still have the Robertson Chev-Olds song in my head.

I remember it all...I lived on Tennis Cres off of Broadview....across from Riverdale Park....good old days..!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌲🌲

I was a little young to remember 1966, but I was grasping how the world worked in the late 60's and I can remember the fuss about moving into the 70's. They were optimistic times. Today we have a government we can not trust, and a young person with hopes to buy their first house is up against a lot of competition. Things have changed, but I am not sure for the better!

4003 is one of the original CLRV's, who ever works on it make sure you have metric tools. 4010 is the only CLRV that a trip arm installed in the front just below the skirt which when activated caused the car to go into emergency, track brakes drop, sand comes down on the rail, no cradle like the ALRV's have.

Aww these were the days, would have loved to have been alive then , many of the landmarks i recognize , i miss old toronto

Awesome vintage film!
