| 释义 |
The Galt, Preston and Hespeler Street Railway was an interurban streetcar service connecting the three nearby cities of Galt, Ontario and Preston, Ontario, and later, also connecting Hespeler, Ontario. The firm was organized in 1890, and began operation in 1894. In 1908 it merged with the Preston & Berlin Street Railway, with the new entity called the Berlin, Waterloo, Wellesley & Lake Huron Railway Company.[1][2] In 1911, the line reached Hespeler, Berlin (later called Kitchener) and Waterloo. In 1914, the company was incorporated as the Grand River Railway. By 1916, the line was extended to Brantford/Port Dover.[3][4][5] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.trainweb.org/elso/pb.htm |title=PRESTON & BERLIN STREET RAILWAY COMPANY LIMITED PRESTON & BERLIN RAILWAY COMPANY LIMITED |author= |date=19 July 2004 |website=Trainweb |publisher=Trainweb |access-date=25 March 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.trainweb.org/elso/grr.htm |title=GRAND RIVER RAILWAY |author= |date=19 July 2004 |website=Trainweb |publisher=Trainweb |access-date=25 March 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.explorewaterlooregion.com/2017/01/railway-history/ |title=CAMBRIDGE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON WATERLOO REGION’S LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT |author= |date=19 January 2017 |website=Waterloo Region |publisher=Waterloo Region |access-date=10 March 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Mills |first=Rych |date=10 January 2017 |title=Flash From the Past: Preston Car and Coach goes up in smoke |url=http://www.therecord.com/living-story/7058983-flash-from-the-past-preston-car-and-coach-goes-up-in-smoke/| work=Record |location=Kitchener |access-date=10 March 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.trainweb.org/elso/pb.htm |title=PRESTON & BERLIN STREET RAILWAY COMPANY LIMITED PRESTON & BERLIN RAILWAY COMPANY LIMITED |author= |date=19 July 2004 |website=Trainweb |publisher=Trainweb |access-date=25 March 2017}} 6. ^{{cite news | url = http://www.therecord.com/living-story/4928575-lrt-began-in-galt-and-preston-in-1894/| title = Flash from the Past: Freeport rail bridge opened in 1903| publisher = Kitchener-Waterloo Record| author = rych mills| date = 2016-04-16| page = | location = | archiveurl = | archivedate = | accessdate = 2017-03-14| deadurl = No | quote = The GRR was the result of a 1911 amalgamation of the much earlier Galt, Preston and Hespeler Street Railway with the Preston and Berlin Street Railway Company.}} 7. ^{{cite news | url = http://www.therecord.com/living-story/4928575-lrt-began-in-galt-and-preston-in-1894/| title = LRT began in Galt and Preston in 1894| publisher = Kitchener-Waterloo Record| author = Bill Bean| date = 2014-10-24| page = | location = | archiveurl = | archivedate = | accessdate = 2017-03-14| deadurl = No | quote = Interest in electric street railways grew in the area, with the Preston and Berlin Street Railway and the Berlin and Waterloo Street Railway providing service across what is now Waterloo Region.
