FRED F. ANGUS ............... 167 FRONT CO VER: The corner ofPortage and Main in Winnipeg during the 1880s, with two horsecars of the Winnipeg Street Railway. Winnipeg was the westernmost Canadian city to have horsecars, and the first routes were inaugurated in 1882. About this time, the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway set off a land boom, and it was logical that a street railway would be started in the rapidly-developing city. Compare this view with the two photographs on page 203 that show the same location. For a time in the early 1890s there were four tracks on Main street, as the new electric line coexisted with the older horsecar route for a f ew years. This painting hung in one of the offices of the Winnipeg Electric Railway, and was later acquired by the uncle of the author and presented to him in 1964. BELOW A drawing ofan open horse car on St. Denis street in Montreal in 1887. This drawing is based on the photograph that appears on page 197. Cars like this were very popular in the summer, and were used as trailers behind electric cars f or a few years after the electrification of the Montreal system.
