@jeremyhopkin.bsky.social165 years ago today Toronto rolled out a brand-new way to travel: Canada’s very first streetcar line, running along Yonge Street. Operated by the Toronto Street Railway, the debut was marked with great fanfare on Sept. 10, 1861.
@jeremyhopkin.bsky.socialI'd heard about the annual Steam Era event for many, many years, but 2026 was my first time actually being there. It did not disappoint!
Made this compilation video from the photos and video I took.
Hope you enjoy it!
