“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” -Theodore Roosevelt.

Can anyone point me to a site with detailed information about the pre-TTC streetcars such as the ones in the pic attached? Not much in the wiki or on Transit Toronto. One with photos would be nice. Thanks.

Body work and a repaint one day probably. It's one of the modernized ex-VIA 6300's rebuilt in the 1980's (just like the two RLK's and CP 4100's), so it's not necessarily some stock 50's clunker on its last legs. It was luckier than the other two, which sat around Goderich being picked over for parts for years before OSR bought them.

But those two were lucky that they were bought recently, as GEXR is now scrapping some of their OOS equipment at Goderich.

Cool, thanks for that. Finally have an excuse to go to Woodstock again. :)

Rebuild what? It's already in service.

I must have misunderstood the caption on the photo. Thought they were going to do more work on it.
