Streetcar Museum- June 2024

 

So back on  the weekend, I was out in Halton, Ontario at the Halton County Radial Museum or Streetcar Museum. Anyways was good to be back and saw a few changes in barn 4. They switched some of the streetcars around like 4000 is now a static display now in the back part of the barn. Also 2894 as you see on the left hand side of this blog. Also we got to see 4611 come on out of the shop there as their getting close to finishing it up. I look forward to riding it soon. We did the usual rides to the loop and back as always and the cars running on Saturday was 2894 a Peter Witt Car, 327 the open air car and the 8 car from London and Port Stanley. 

When we rode in the 327 the second time, I got the honor and privilege of sitting up front with the volunteers to take pictures and what not which really excite me to the core. Anyways I had a ton of fun and thank you to the volunteers for allowing me to sit up front. You made someone on the autism spectrum (me) happy and fulfilled my dream. We will be back this fall for a special event and look forward to what this event is down the road. As always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Halton County Radial Museum- Fall 2021

           I know I have been to Halton recently but we returned for Streetcar rides and it was a fun day and yes I know I have been on the road a ton lately. So we got there and we have to show proof we're vaccinated so if you visit anywhere in Ontario, know you have show proof of vaccination. Anyways we had 3 choices of streetcars and not any street but 3 Generations of Streetcars, Peter Witt, PCC (Presidents Conference Car) and the CLRV. It is pretty cool there is 3 generations of Streetcars on Sunday. So we started with PCC # 4600 which was originally an 4500 numbered which recently had been repainted. Then we went into the barn to look around and noticed they are painted the Hamilton Streetcar so their progressing well with the project.

        Then we got onto the 4039 CLRV which brought back a ton of memories growing up as when I was younger these were the go to Streetcars we road around Toronto when my Dad and I went into the Big T.O. Anyways we road right back around and we got off and we grabbed the Peter Witt # 2894 which was the last car of the day and our visit. After we took some pictures around, took a picture of 4010 which is being repaired as I found out from their Instagram and glad their always making repairs to the fleet of streetcars and also I took a picture next to the colorful # 4178 which you can see a picture of me next to it. So in all, we had a great day and I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.
