I never got to ride the 47 but I did ride the 23 end to end quite a few times. At one time it ran all the way to the Navy Yard. This was cut back to 10 Bigler in 1964. In its later years it was known as the African Queen because it traversed the North Philadelphia badlands.

I remember riding the Archer Ave Streetcar with my dad during the 1950s. I asked him why is that guy ringing the bell so often?

Que lindos recuerdos cuando estás locomotoras pasaban por Estanzuela

Mississauga's 1989 Orion Vs (8901 to 8925) were not just the first such buses to go into actual production, but they were also the first wheelchair accessible buses for the agency.

Thank you for the upload. The 50 and 47 trolley were my favorite, Unfortunately the 47 was short lived service ended in 1969 but, the 50 lasted into late 1980 and I rode it to school and later work.

I don't understand why SEPTA didn't save the surface streetcar routes. I Wish that they purchased 😪 former Torontos TTC Bombardier cars to run the surface routes.

Again no 10 trolly,west phila did not exist.

Inviertan paraguay en trenes como lo hace chile 🇨🇱 con su tren rápido que inauguró hace poco

Three years after the documentary video was released, the tracks on Queens Quay were eventually extended to Exhibition and the 509 HARBOURFRONT was born in July 2000. Both routes have since operated with the current Flexity LRV streetcars from 2014. Me thinks the TTC should restore the Kingston Road streetcar line in Scarborough...

Uma dona elvira dos anos 30 e uma carroça no centro de Lisboa parece-me que são um bocado anacrónicas mesmo para 1985. Acho que apanharam aí umas situações improváveis

2:30 Where is the exhaust pipe

My grandfather worked on trolly in Chicago, and when the buses came out, he crashed the bus parked bus at cta and quit and went work for the Chicago school system where he retired.

Just incredible. What a way of life it must have been for all the crews of each engine. Guess you'd know the quirks of each engine . Thank you for recording & narrating for us. P.j. Calif.

D40-90 moved to Malvern Division in the 1990's

WARNING!!! Property of CANADA!! ..... As they show a film in Chicago LOL

Which decade had the best buses in your opinion?

My grandfather (an immigrant) worked for the Chicago Surface Lines from the 1920's to the 1950's. He designed this logo before he retired: The CTA Metropolitan Transit. I couldn't drag or copy and paste it here, but it's available on Google Images.

Gosto muito de Portugal e gosto muito de ver essas reportagens antigas para ver os carros dessa época.deveriam fazer uma das aldeias nessa época

Toronto was the "GOOD" back in those days!

Bring back the steam Engine 👍🏻😎

Fantastic times it would be great to go back in time : Not a fan of the stuff today .👍🏻😎

This is quite a historic document, from a time when not many people went around carrying cameras. Thank you so much!

Impecable registro.............

I'm in absolute awe! This film shows the area a few blocks from my 50's home and high school with steam locomotives and the Rock Island RR in perfect clarity! This is astounding to me seeing something like this for the first time at 70 years old. Thanks so much!!!

Didn't the D40-90 move to Malvern in the 90's

I'm speechless....Thank you. I railroaded about 40 yrs too late

Thaks for uploading.

A fascinating history. Thank you!

I watched the whole thing. Great memories. My dad drove for mississauga transit from 1981 to 2014 Didn't see him :(

My grandpa used to take these all the time. I on the other hand live in a suburban hellscape. Thanks mid-20th century urban planners

CP and CNR should be ashamed not making any of these engines road worthy .American roads have several they have restored to service .

Os eléctricos 😲 que lindos 🤩😍 os actuais parecem supositórios 😅

Que Deus abençoe este lindo e maravilhoso País que é Portugal que esse beleza perdure por todo sempre,um dia se Deus quiser quero conhecer um beijo a todos daí.

This is some awesome footage very well explained. Great video! Thanks & cheers.

Clips at 4:13 and 7:06 appear to be making passes eastbound and westbound on Bloor over the Bloor Viaduct (back when there were still streetcar tracks on it). Very neat! 0:35 looks like clearing out Russell Carhouse yard 1:25 looks like Coxwell by the CN underpass. 10:00 may be doing Queen and Neville Loop 11:00 appears to be at Gerrard & Carlaw

I have many memories from the 1970s riding the Trolley down Girard Avenue with my Grandmom. I miss those days. A simple way of life.

This brings back a lot of memories of my childhood in Chicago.👍👍🤩🤩

Very well done

Lots of great history here.

Sad to see our city spelled wrong in so much of this video. St.Catharines

What an incredible inter urban. Pity it gave way to the mighty tyre. 100 mph running ! People would be screaming for a service like that today.

For those watching, the last of the NS&T trackage in Thorold and St. Catharines has become abandoned as of March 1st, 2024. Trillium Railway placed the red flag at the southern end of the Thorold Sub, meaning the only rail movements north of there are the CN Mainline

i hated riding the diesel busses

Born in '51 , I've lived in Toronto all my life . Grew up in south Parkdale so the " KING Car " was a big part of my boyhood and I've always loved the old PCC's . Even as a boy I found them special and would pretend to drive one . Never new Mr. Borland but from these films I'd say we shared one love .

The saddest thing in Niagara is, going around places where rail tracks use to be .I wish the TH&B passenger service between Buffalo,Fort Erie , Welland ,Smithville ,Hamilton and Toronto still existed .

Good old days

I miss the late Ray Neilson. We were great friends for years. Any idea who {if anybody} is running the business now? Several years ago, I heard some young guy had all of Ray's material.

TTC really messed up scrapping the Gloucester. They should have kept a set,especially since it was the first subway.

It’s a shame that there are no videos that capture the sound of the trolleys and bells. One of my favorite sounds as a child

It’s never coming back
