The HCRY is
one of the most interesting working museums I have had the chance to
experience. It is located between the villages of Rockwood and Campbellville in
Milton, Ontario.

The museum
contains some impressive treasures from the golden age of the streetcar. These
include trolley busses, diesel buses and other railway vehicles.

Margaret and I enjoyed jumping on the Peter Witt streetcar. This streetcar was restored to its 1921 livery and is continuing to take passengers around the museum site.
