Streetcars, radials and trains historically have played very important roles in the development of towns, cities and villages across Canada and North America. Streetcars have helped to change the face of cities, society and transportation methods. We preserve streetcars so that this valuable part of history is maintained for future generations, and to educate the public on previous forms of transportation and social history. Restoring streetcars and rail cars allows visitors to experience history first-hand. Without restorations the vehicles would be forgotten.
