Electric powered trains were the rage In North America at the turn of the century but the term radial rail way which most people called the TSR was que to this area It was used to describe several lines which radiated from Toronto But its proximity to the Grand Trunk now the CN increasing use of the automobile for trans portation trucks com for freight establishment of bus lines and the presence of Great Depression sounded the death knell for the TSR Ironically though the roadbed was built to high standards it was reputed to be the cheapest line built in the world with the least investment per mile The line started out as a small suburban street railway in Toronto with miles of track It was acquired by roilroad contractors Mann and Mackenzie in 1011 the former being Sir Donald Mann an Acton boy who became wealthy through contract work and a legendary figure in Can railroad history It is not difficult to follpw roadbed of the Toronto Suburban Rail way today especially

lake When the Ontario Association searched for a site for a museum to perpetuate the golden age or electrical railways in Ontario they found the old roadbed in wcya township ideal for their purpose They laid down rails through the concession transported the CN station from Rock wood there built car barns and trans ported antique equip ment from the to the site where it has been re stored to working order Although the wcya site has been declared a museum it is ironic that the Ontario Government is studying possibility of electrifying GO trains the modern equivalent of the TSR It is
