Canadian Street Railways

If you're into streetcars, this site provides a comprehensive list of all Canadian urban and interurban electric railways.

This list was compiled by David Wyatt, who has several other streetcar-related sites on the same server: Transit History of Winnipeg and Transit History of Brandon. He is a member of the Manitoba Transit Heritage Association.

Film About Winnipeg's Streetcars

A new documentary called "Backtracks: The Story of Winnipeg's Streetcars" will be shown Sunday at Cinematheque on Arthur Street in Winnipeg.

The cost of admission is 10 cents, the cost to ride a streetcar back when they were operating. Donations will also be accepted toward restoring Streetcar 356.

There's a trailer on YouTube:
