Updates to Hamilton Transit History

[hamiltontransithistory]

Whoops, forgot to post an update here.

This month I've updated and added photos to the pages on the Hamilton and Barton Incline Railway and the Mount Hamilton Incline Railway/Wentworth Incline Railway. And I've created a new page on the proposed but never built Ottawa Street Incline Railway

Lots of new photos this month added to the following pages: The HSR's Stephenson DEDT, Preston DEST, Ottawa DEDT, Preston DEDT, and National Steel Car streetcars, and snow sweepers.

Last month's update was adding a whole bunch of new sources to the Hamilton Historical Resources page

Just some minor updates this month, I've added to the pages on HSR accidents and the second Stuart Street station, and created a new page describing some of the early proposed Incline railways. (Last month had no update, I was editing and cleaning up dead links)

[hamiltontransithistory]

This topic is rather fitting for April fool's day: Although it may sound like a joke, the first incline railway in the Hamilton area was not built to go up the mountain, but instead was built for an amusement park!

 

(Also, last month's update was adding details on the construction of the Brantford & Hamilton Electric Railway)

[hamiltontransithistory]

This month I've added photos to all five of the radial railway pages: The Hamilton & Dundas Street Railway (H&D), The Hamilton, Grimsby, & Beamsville Electric Railway (HG&B), The Hamilton Radial Electric Railway (HRER), The Brantford & Hamilton Electric Railway (B&H), and The Hamilton Terminal Company (HTC).

So since April 2021 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of HSR streetcar service, I was originally planning this month to write an article about the streetcar's final days. But the Covid19 outbreak has cut me off from the libraries and archives, so it'll have to wait. Instead, thanks to Paul A. Bateson, I've added photos & facts to a bunch of articles: The CCL's fleets of MC-5B, MC-9, LeMirage, 102-AW3, and TC40-102A buses.

To comemorate 20 years of Hamilton Transit History as a website, it's time to tell a story that isn't completely history yet, even though it's been going on for so long it's starting to feel ancient: The History of the Hamilton LRT
