Last Update: September 1, 2010

Last month's update was one big article. This month is the opposite: updates to a ton of different pages. Thanks to the people at the Toronto Public library, the Dundas Museum & Archives, and the Burlington Historical Society, I've added photos to the following pages: The Hamilton Radial Electric Railway (HRER), The Brantford & Hamilton Electric Railway (B&H), Radial and HSR Accidents, Early HSR Streetcars, Stephenson DEDT Streetcars, and created a new page, Canadian Car & Foundry C-36A. Thanks also go to Dave Sherlock, who provided photos of the former tracks of the HG&B in Beamsville being removed.

I've added links to footage of HTC #675 and the James St Incline, and the recent bus retirements and new buses entering service have been described on the C40LF, LFS, and D40LF pages.
