The Railways of Toronto: The First Hundred Years (1860-1960)

A.A. den Otter is a history professor at the Memorial University of
Newfoundland.

This book is not a traditional railway history, but rather a collection
of some 30 photographs depicting railways in Toronto since 1860. As is
the case in most of this genre, the steam locomotive is the star
attraction, but the book also contains good shots of railway yards and
stations.

A long caption, replete with technical details, accompanies each
photograph. The caption provides the history of the featured object and
some of the ancillary structures. In other words, Railways in Toronto
does not present a structured historical narrative but a set of short
pictorial histories.
