When I read this I couldn't help but think that wouldn't it make more sense for Hamilton to fund the restoration of this streetcar over retaining rights and spending money on The Hamilton and The Scourge? Two American Warships with an at best tenuous connection to Hamilton.

I've been planning to go back this year. Last time I didn't get much time as we got there like 2 hours before closing, too much booze the night before if I recall.
I've always thought heritage streetcars along the Chedoke trail would be a good idea. In Edmonton where I was recently they have an old streetcar runing a few miles from downtown to the commercial area of Old Strathcona and a few more in Fort Edmonton Park. It was packed both times I rode it.
