Halton Radial Railway

May 20, 2008
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Over the long weekend I had a chance to take a trip with John & Bernie up to the Halton Radial Railway Streetcar Museum. A vast majority of the cars came from the TTC, but many were similar to the cars used in Windsor and Detroit and…
