Trains Around The Bay.
Hamilton, Ontario has a rich history of railroad activity starting prior to Canada's confederation when the Great Western Railroad came to the city in 1853. While a lot has changed since then, the greater Hamilton area remains one of the busiest and most varied railroad hot spots in Canada featuring a wide range of freight, long-distance passenger and commuter rail operations.
I also have a blog where I provide more detailed write-ups on the rail infrastructure, train operations, and businesses they serve in Hamilton which can be found here: https://trainsaroundthebay.blogspot.com/
