Have you considered volunteering at the HCRR? Railway and traction museums are always looking for volunteers. This way, you add another aspect to your enjoyment of the hobby.
In the many amalgamations that are going on with municipalities throughout Canada, Delson got amalgamated with St Constant. All signs in the area refer to St Constant. To get to ExpoRail is very easy when coming from the west (Toronto, Southern, Ontario, Eastern Ontario, New York State, etc). Hwy 401 turns into Hwy 20 at the Quebec border. Past Dorval, keep your eyes open for signs for the Honoré Mercier bridge and Valleyfield. Take the Honoré Mercier bridge. As you exit the bridge, stay on Hwy 132. About 15 minutes later, you will see the blue sign pointing to ExpoRail. A short distance down the road and you will see a little 2-4-0 on a bridge girder. You have arrived!
There are lots of traction jewels at the HCRR that are hidden away in the back sheds. The history of how each one of these pieces was saved is quite a story. It is quite a miracle that we can still enjoy them today. My favourite traction pieces both at HCRR and ExpoRail are the M&SC interurbans. In the Toronto area, there were quite a few interurban lines thanks to entrepreneurs like William Mackenzie of the Canadian Northern and Sir Henry Pellatt. Interurban lines went from the north part of Toronto as far north as Jackson's Point, Aurora and Richmond Hill. A trip to Scarborough was quite the adventure on the interurbarns. The London & Port Stanley is one of the better-known inter-urban lines today.
More books are being published on these long-forgotten lines. Tom Grumley has published a series of monographs/books on the Montreal & Southern Counties, Montreal streetcars, Quebec & Montmorency. David Knowles has also published a monograph on the Ottawa Car Company who manufactured many of the streetcars and inter-urbans that ran in Canada. All of their monographs/ books are published by the Bytown Railway Society and should be available at your LHS or direct from Bytown.
These are very good reads.
