Morning Marty,
Here is a picture of the Tour Streetcar at the Museum in St. Constant. The House of Commons, in October, has set in motion a bill to make this museum a National Heritage Museum elevating it to the level of The War Museum.
The Eaton's Christmas Train is on display here and they run it during the holiday season.
I rode the Tour Streetcar once when I was about 7 or 8. I lived on Cote St. Antoine in NDG at the time and one clear summer day Jimmy Pritchard and myself embarked upon our own little adventure.
It was quite exciting touring TMR etc. As Jimmy and I were standing at the back, on the highest elevated seating area, Jimmy said " Hey look at the pigeon on the wire, the trolley wheel is going to hit it". The pigeon never moved. He did however, drop some white wash right in my face. All the tourists went into hysterical laughter. I was so traumatized by the incident that I still have pigeon issues.
They were wonderful, innocent times when 7 or 8 year old could venture out on their own without fear of our fellow man.

Thanks Bob H.
