The Halton County Radial Railway asked us to produce a series of short 30 second and 15 second spots as well as this 3 minute promotional piece for the internet. The idea was to show the world that the mmuseum is much more than artifacts and rail cars sitting on a static display, but there are in fact fully operational street cars.

The Halton County Radial Railway and the OERHA was formed in 1953 by a group of men who wanted to save Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcar 1326 from being sent to the scrap yard. After the donation of this streetcar, the dream grew. Land that used to be a part of the Toronto Suburban Railway in Nassagaweya Township was acquired, and subsequently, a number of other street and radial cars were eventually rescued. The museum’s grand opening to the public took place in 1972.
