TTC Rail Grinder W-30 at the Streetcar Museum

Footage of TTC Rail-Grinding streetcar W-30 switching tracks in Yard 3 at our museum, the Halton County Radial Railway.
The car was built in 1946 and was originally Cleveland Transit #4206. It was acquired by the TTC in 1952 and renumbered #4631. It was converted into a workcar in 1976 and retired in 1999.
It was acquired by our museum in 2002 and is still operational. Come out to the Halton County Radial Railway and take a ride on this historic streetcar!
Special thanks to Gord McOuat and Dave Barrett for maintaining the operational streetcars in our collection.
2019 footage was taken by HCRR volunteer Trevor Parkins-Sciberras, creator of Transit Bricks.

I can remember clearly those boom guides , throwing sparks and disconnecting quite often. But i still loved to see those old cars coming. It was a treat to ride in them

There’s 2 Rail Grinder Cars (W-30 and W-31)

drivers would often come out to replace pole on wire on a turn section.

Why was the the trolley pole having problems at the switches?

[@StreetcarMuseum]

They do sometimes, its normal for them to pop off sometimes and not a big deal. :) That's why we always have someone holding the trolley rope when the car is reversing.
