Electric streetcars were
developed in the 1890s, replacing the horse-pulled tramcars. Saint John
began modernizing its system in 1894 and placed an order for streetcars
from the Ottawa Car Compagny. Car #40 was included in the second shipment
and remained in service for 25 years. The Ottawa compagny ceased
production in 1947 when most cities abandoned trams in favour of buses.
Today, Toronto has the only regular streetcar service in Canada.
