Hamilton Transit History

Ford 99-T (HSR #151-169)

The HSR received twenty Ford 99-Ts in 1947. All 99-Ts were retired before the sale of the HSR to the City of Hamilton in 1959.

Some of the dates for these photos are unknown, and the locations are often just a guess. If you know either date or location, email me!

HSR #151 on Main St just east of Catharine, next to the old Hamilton Terminal Station, date unknown

HSR #151 on Main St just east of Catharine, next to the old Hamilton Terminal Station. Date unknown, but the HTS is still in use as a bus terminal, so it's before August 1955.

HSR #94 & #122, along with #159 at the Sanford yard, circa 1956.

HSR #161 on King St just west of James, mid 1950s. (HSR #428 was delivered in 1955, but it looks like there are no overhead trolley wires, so the downtown streets are still two-way). Photo by Jack Whorwood. (Photo courtesy of Bar on Locke, used with permission.)
