For someone who drives those highways everyday this is great to watch. It’s amazing how many things are still recognizable. The cars were way more attractive back then.

The railway crossing at 1:38 was the old Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo line that crossed Hwy 8 at Bond St

On the sign at 4:26, it says 65 miles to Toronto. These days it would be something like 103 kilometers.

This was amazing, thanks for sharing. Do you happen to have any more old footage of Burlington or Waterdown?

That's amazing footage to have. Do you know exactly what year it was filmed?

@slammer105 2 жыл бұрын

Very late 1950s or very early 1960s is my best guess. Someone may know better based on landmarks and the cars

Now I wonder, the only Memorial Cup Game played in Kitchener was game 5 between the Hamilton Red Wings and the Edmonton Oil Kings. At 3:02 the Marquee says 5th Memorial Cup Tues May 8th. This game was held in 1962, Red Wings won the cup in 5 games.

@@slammer105 I guess not all the streets went one way at same time or the white dividing line wasn't removed. Check my previous comment, looks like May 1962
