Inscription. Imagine hopping on a train and riding right through a park like this one! Before cars and busses were common, many people in Hamilton went from here to there on the electric railway. You could ride in one of the Brantford and Hamilton Electric Railway's streetcars and travel all the way from downtown Hamilton to Ancaster and Brantford. On your Brantford and Hamilton Electric Railway ride you could look out your window and see scenes like the ones on the right.

Erected 2024 by City of Hamilton.
