Electrified Sarnia Street Railway car at Lake Huron Park c1905


Collection of John Rochon
The Sarnia Street Railway was established in 1874-75 with horse-drawn cars.  In 1901 the line was electrified.  Service continued until Feb. 1931, when the depression coupled with the use of bus services forced the Sarnia Street Railway to fold.
