Halton County Radial Railway
The Halton County Radial Railway is a working museum of electric streetcars, other railway vehicles, and buses. It is operated by the Ontario Electric Railway Historical Association. Large parts of its collection are formerly of the Toronto Transit Commission (including PCC and Peter Witt streetcars and subway trains), and for this reason its tracks are built to the TTC's wider-than-standard rail gauge; vehicles from other systems must be altered to accommodate its tracks, and ones intended for third-rail power must be reconfigured for use with overhead wire.
The museum is open to the public, who can take rides on many of its vehicles. It is located near Rockwood, Ontario in Canada, along a former right-of-way of the Toronto Suburban Railway.
