Hamilton Street Railway-Wentworth Garage and Barton Street, May 22, 1991 

One word comes to mind wow! Because I've been living here at 24 Tisdale street south across from the no frills plaza and a stroke and cardiac arrest and colon cancer survivor and find this history interesting

I've lived in Hamilton in the 60s and one of the things I liked the most was the trolley buses. So sad they are gone now. 🚎🚎

Awesome footage

The heyday of HSR! Wow I wish I could go back in time!

Man this video is awesome! The sound of those GM Classics, Artics, & Fishbowls bring back good old memories of how SCRTD & MARTA's Grumman/Metro Flxibles, and Neoplans use to sound like during my childhood :-D

Still many interesting systems operating in the Czech Republic.

i like when the busses were yellow , looked much nicer.

As a former HSR trolley operator I can tell you that the 7800 was not operating on battery power. The 7800's were equipped with motor-generator sets (APU's) that powered the traction motor when the poles were locked down. The 700's were pushed into and around the Wentworth garage...a somewhat dangerous practice for the obvious reason the push vehicle driver couldn't see what the trolley driver could and that lead to a few minor collisions leading to removing the 700's from service.

Do you have any more old footage of Hamilton? Would love to see more!

When the fishbowl buses of hsr were retired, I had called the same day and had a driver drive #7710 to my farm in it's original black and yellow and stainless colors. It is in my Newley built concrete barn and still drives to this day. No shit is stored in it

awesome...my favorite buses were the 77 (ex. 7701) and the 88 (ex.8801) versions. sure don't miss those trolley buses. i like the hsr and it's an important part of hamilton!

@97SCT Yeh I got a new seat but it is duscoloured and I got a buddy who knows how to remove the paint that I painted over the tagged parts and the grafeitted areas. I hope it works

@97SCT Ya I do but it's been completely repainted because some little bastards broke into my barn and tagged it and burned some seats. I should have put the alarm on that day I locked up for the winter.

It's too bad that many cities had to trash their trolleybus systems in North America.

Looks like the B-Line service is done for the day! lol

Do you have any videos of Hamilton Fire vehicles from this time period?

Looks a lot cleaner back then.

@bigzebb Hey go to the halton county radial railway museum down the Guelph line, and you will find a very big surprise parked in the parking lot ;)

Interesting to see Barton St back then. Was it a sewer back then like it is now?

What state?
