In 1971 took the T to Park St then took the Boston College line to BU. Got off at SFAA building for music rehearsal every Saturday or Sunday.

They were going from forest to Logan

Thank you for the info.It’s really very helpful .

Toronto, ONTARIO... Don't ever say Toronto, Canada

I miss my home town, I relocated in ‘78… opportunities were all but bought and sold to foreign countries for pennies on the dollar. We were the machine shop for the world. Still a great city. It has personality, pride and the festivals and food…

Had superior service even one hundred years ago. Mpls system was not rider friendly since all routes converge to a Mall. I live 7.5 miles away from either downtown. Hour and a half minimum bus ride… and the buses have been generally empty since I moved here in’78. Back home in brew town I could travel from cedarburg to oak creek Waukesha to the lake without any issues. Back in the day I bought a bike on North Avenue somewhere when I lived on the deep south side brought that bike home in a box on a bus.

Cool! Thanks for posting. I’m a sixth generation Toronto guy that loves seeing what I could only hear about from family. But a fair bit from this video is extant. Oh, in 1997 on Spadina, after chatting, Ray Nielsen gave me an old transfer. I guess he kept a bunch with him. RIP Ray!

What month did you cruise?

Pure nostalgia. So many memories.

The history. Love it.

Lived half of my 60s years in Toronto including last 16 years in St. Clair West/Bathurst area right here 59:50 on Wychwood. So cool to see film from so long ago of places that I regularly would drive by. Living back in native Montreal now but I miss Hogtown a lot. Thanks for posting this video.

And is close to where I live

WOW not one homeless person in this video and the passengers who actually pay their fares.What a shame that the system has gone down the toilet.

How where yall allowed to have flexible bus windows on the side, surprised flyer didn't get sued having the same side windows like our flexible buses here in the USA. And y'all were allowed to sell yall buses into the usa, while no flexible buses were allowed into Canada, not fair.

Great video... but what about their diesel buses, please?

Brampton Transit had a lot of Orion buses back then! 8170-8174 - 1981 01.501 (30') with Detroit Diesel 6V-53 and Allison MT-643 8686, 8687 - 1986 01.508 (40') with Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA and Allison HT-747 8894-8899 - 1988 01.508 (40') with Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA and Voith D863 8901-8909 - 1989 01.508 (40') with Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA and Voith D863 9014-9028 - 1990 01.508 (40') with Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA and Voith D863 9129-9137 - 1991 05.501 (40') with Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA and Voith D863 They also borrowed a few 1984 Orion Is from Mississauga Transit (their 8401-8415, which were 35' long instead of 40') while faced with a temporary bus shortage.

i remember the time where i rode 7941 on the 15 evans

Buddy in the back of the streetcar at 14:49 is flipping off the camera

Great video but the amount of ads made it unwatchable

Thank you for posting this wonderful footage.

Great to see my hometown of El Paso, TX in the video. Had no idea they were purchased used from San Diego. I remember them when I was a kid. They ran until 1974 and they resumed in the downtown/UTEP area a few years ago.

I ❤the PCC cars

This was before digital technology, unfortunately it's so blurry

At 2:02 -- there's 8203 (now 518203). Today part of the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, ME.

This was a long one but love the history. Thank you.

Terrific-I remember when the Lake-Dan Ryan(now Red Line)opened in September 1969(I rode it)CTA Chicago Transit Authority Lake-Dan Ryan Rapod Transit Line

I have the original version of this

Amazing!!!!

Good job! Any railway videos shot in Sault Ste. Marie?

I purchased the first 4 volumes of Railway Recollections back in the 1990's on original VHS format. I recently watched volume 5 on KZfaq, a pleasant surprise (I didn't know a vol. 5 existed!) . Glad to see these films will get a wider audience via KZfaq. They're now a part of Southern Ontario railroad history.

Really enjoyed this. Thanks.

As a born and raised Baltimorean, I still miss our old PCC streetcars. I lived along one line as a young child and was 13 when the last two lines were converted to bus routes. I watched the cars being pulled out of the Irvington Carhouse to be hauled away as scrap in the Summer of 1964. Evidence of where they ran still exists in the form of rails poking up through worn down asphalt on city streets and power poles that served dual purposes still serving their other purpose - traffic lights, guy wire supports, or simply holding up a traffic sign.

It's sad what toronto has become

I used to drive along that stretch of hwy 2 between Trenton and Cobourg several times a week, I have a feeling not much has changed in the rivalry between CP and CN, you can still see freights neck and neck tooling along, just that there is twice as many on the CN line. I live near Port Hope now and for every train on the CP trestle you can count 3 on the CN trestle including Via units. There used to be stories from when the old CPR north mainline through Glen Tay Kaladar, Tweed Havelock and Peterborough on to Toronto was still carrying passengers, the CPR would pull out of Ottawa and the CNR would too at the same time and it was a race, go like hell and the trains would pull into Union Station minutes apart with shell shocked ptsd passengers from the rough breakneck ride. Sometimes CPR won the race, sometimes CNR.

All the branch lines near me were abandoned and track removed all through the late 80's into the 90's. By 95 it was all gone, nothing left but the trunk line along the Lake Ontario hwy 401 corridor. All trucks now. Just north of me the CP Havelock sub still lingers on at 10 mph with only Unimin and IKO as paying customers, most of the spurs and sidings around PTBO have been torn up, just the mainline left dead ending east of Havelock. I give it another decade at most...

Breng back the RT😢

Nice horn on cp 400692

Miss the old train Comment please

I’m from Canada from Ontario and I love the TTC I am from Guelph Soon to be a Mississauga resident Do you guys have any videos of Mississauga transit buses in the 1990s?

Enjoyed your video! Thanks Nigel and Coley

what if the surviving locomotives be restored and carry Excursions.

Ss9wesissdz

The plates and registration/ownership were also transferred from the original 7410 to 7510.

Yeah, walk across the street to the Four Seasons.

80s or 90s? Title and description confuses me. I'm assuming 90s.

I remember these types of buses. Air-conditioning meant opening a window. Brings back a lot of memories. This was the time air-conditioned buses were starting to come out.

When are you gonna post Oshawa. Whitby. Ajax. & Pickering on here?

yay M Series, thank you !
