Thank you to members Bob and Lynda Messmer for promoting our museum at the Woodstock Model Train Show today!
This was our museum's mainline when it was still just the abandoned right-of-way for the Toronto Suburban Railway. The photo was taken in the 1950s facing west, & is now in the collection of David Johns. We will re-open for the 2024 summer season during the first weekend of May!
On May 4th, 2024, our museum will re-open for weekends and holidays in May and June! Spend the day riding old streetcars and have a picnic on our scenic property. Learn more on our website! hcry.org
Our snow plow TP-11 and work car W-28 next to Barn #1 in September of 1982. This photo was taken by Richard Glaze. We will re-open for the summer season during the first weekend of May 2024. Stay tuned for updates!
This is Barn #1 at our museum's east end in 1973. We had only opened to the public the year before. Barns #3 and #4 are now the public display barns while #1 is used for car storage. This photo was taken by Richard Glaze.
The first spike being driven for the first unloading ramp at our museum on June 19th, 1954. From left to right: Jack Knowles, John Kelley, Ron Cooper, Harvey Naylor and Stewart Westland. This photo was taken by Robert Sandusky, who is our museum's last living Founding Member.
The view from inside Peter Witt streetcar #2424 in 1974 when it was out for "Tour Tram" service in Toronto. An old GM bus and PCC were approaching from the north side on Bathurst St. at Queen St. Witt #2424 is now at our museum and undergoing restoration work.
Our museum's Peter Witt streetcar #2894 was photographed by John Freyseng heading down Bathurst St. towards Davenport Rd. in Feb. 1963. Witt #2894 continues to be operational at our museum at the ripe old age of 101. We are closed for the winter and will re-open in May.
London & Port Stanley Railway (L&PS) #8 has been a part of our museum's collection since we opened our doors to the public in 1972. The interurban car was photographed by Richard Glaze in 1971 when it was being trucked to our property.
Doug McOuat has been volunteering at our museum for decades! Here he is back in 1984 photographed by Richard Glaze.
Here's TTC Peter Witt streetcar #2894 out for a fan charter 13 years after it was retired from regular service. This photo was taken facing north on Church St. from Queen St. by Robert McMann on June 20th, 1976.
The maintenance & restoration work never ends here at Ontario's operating streetcar museum! Here's one of our volunteers Tom Dusmet painting parts for our Plymouth locomotive last year. You can join our team by becoming a member through our website. We are closed until May.
TTC Witt streetcar #2424 was heading north on Broadview Ave. at Montcrest Blvd. in 1979. The streetcar was retired from regular service in 1962 & acquired by us that same year. #2424 was then sent back to Toronto for "Tour Tram" service but is now back at our museum.
The TTC once had conductors on its streetcars, whose job it was to collect fares from passengers. They were also in charge of the coal stoves during the winter. Here's one inside a Peter Witt streetcar circa 1950.
L&PS 8 towed Witt 2424 out onto our museum's mainline on December 17th, 2022. 2424 is undergoing restoration work & had to be towed out of the shops by 8, before being pushed back in on a different track. Our museum is closed & will re-open for the first weekend in May of 2024.
The late Lorne Hymers was a lifelong transit fan & former volunteer for our museum, and took many great photographs over the decades. Here he is posing with Niagara, St. Catharines & Toronto Railway interurban #623 during the last day of passenger service on March 28th, 1959.
Please subscribe to the Visitors E-news on our museum's website to get the latest updates! hcry.org/visitor-enews/
Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) streetcars on James St. South at Charlton Ave. during the winter in the 1940s. This photo is from the Dick Vincent Collection, which was donated to our museum.
As 2023 comes to an end, we want to thank all the volunteers and visitors who have been keeping our museum alive and thriving. We are closed for the winter and will re-open in May of 2024. Happy New Years and see you in the spring!

Mar 1, 1913: the fifteen-storey Canadian Pacific Building opens on the southeast corner of King and Yonge Streets. Designed by architects Darling and Pearson—who also designed CP's North Toronto Station—the skyscraper was briefly the tallest building in the city. 1/3
#OnThisDay: In 1954, three streetcars left Ingram Car House & headed to County Home Siding along the recently closed Washington Interurban line. Those three cars were our founding collection - West Penn Railways 832, Pittsburgh Railways Co. 3756, and Pittsburgh Railways M1. (1/)
Feb 18, 1957: passenger service ends on the London & Port Stanley Railway when train No. 15 arrives in London from St. Thomas for the last time. The line began operations in 1856 and was leased to several railways before it was taken over by @CityofLdnOnt in 1913. 1/3
The L&PS was electrified in 1914 and went on to operate the largest and heaviest electric interurban cars ever used in Canada. After passenger service ended, the L&PS ran freight trains until the city transferred ownership to CN in 1966 in exchange for some downtown property. 2/3
The only surviving operational L&PS car—No. 8, built by the Jewett Car Co. in 1915—is preserved in the collection of @streetcarmuseum. Port Stanley Terminal Rail Inc. began running excursions over the former L&PS line between Port Stanley and St. Thomas in 1983. 3/3
