From the days when beauty and utility were equally valued…
Car 1326 was the first artifact in the collection of the Halton County Radial Railway Museum. The museum houses more than 70 cars from electric rail of various kinds, and there is a 2km track where many of them operate. A few that were beyond saving have been left to deteriorate, which is where yesterday’s image came from.
Car 1326 was built in 1910 and retired in 1951. It was the last wooden streetcar retired by the Toronto Transit Commission. It is fully restored and operational.
@gardencat It's technically in Campbellville, just outside Milton. It would be about a 45 minute drive for you, I think? Info here https://hcry.org/ It's very quirky, but lots of fun stuff to photograph.
Look at all that beautiful wood! We have a train and trolley museum near here too and it's really fun to see all the different rail cars. You can even take a ride on some. Great shot!
