2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Hamilton Transit History!
So first I update my article on What if the HSR had kept its Streetcars? using the recently researched info I found while writing my article on The End of Streetcar Service on the HSR. But in the process of double checking a couple of things I realize I need to write a couple more paragraphs on that article, So I did. I've also broken out the section in that article on the Birch Avenue boneyard into a seperate article, and made a quick update to the maps page. Enjoy!
We've partnered up with The Sirman Collection and Vintage Rail Photos to offer you prints of the HSR! Each photo available now has a link that will provide you with contact info so you can buy your own high quality print.
This website is a description of public transit in the Hamilton, Ontario region, past, present and future (Hopefully!), and is updated at the start of each month.
