All Aboard - The Railways of Peel
On July 26th, 2025, 25 BHS members enjoyed a private tour of the PAMA exhibition "All Aboard - The Railways of Peel". The tour was led by Dr. Thomas F. McIIwraith, retired Professor of Historical Geography at the University of Toronto at Mississauga. Dr. McIIwraith is a railway enthusiast who researches the history of railroad construction and its impact on society. He is one of the historians who partnered with PAMA to put this wonderful exhibit together. In his introduction to our tour, Dr. McIIwraith described the importance of the railways to successfully move people and goods in the nineteenth century when road travel was too slow and impractical. Interestingly, he pointed out that while the use of the railroads declined after WW2, once again interest and investment in railroads are increasing as a solution to escalating congestion on today's roads.
