I've produced the first video in a series for a proposed hardcover entitled Steam Through Port Credit. If the project is a “go”, the book will be in the same format as my first nine titles with black covers. Released between 1998 and 2010, these 192-page volumes have come to be known as the Steam series.

In this video, we establish some geographical context, i.e. where is Port Credit, and what railway line goes through there during the 1940s and 1950s:

Our first preview video (above) presents the historical and geographical context for Steam Through Port Credit. An overview of the CNR's Oakville Subdivision in the 1940s and 1950s, and the communities it serves in that era.

Or, click this book title link to navigate to the Steam Through Port Credit page on my website and watch it there (that's where all the goodies will gather).

A few days from now, I’ll put together a second video for you. That one will dig into train operations on the CNR’s Oakville Subdivision during the late steam era. Vantage point will be the Lakeshore communities in and around the village of Port Credit.

Ultimately, this project will be a “go” only when interest reaches a significant level.

This posting is part of the background for the Steam Through Port Credit hardcover (click on the book title to go to its separate page, where you may order a copy).
