Galt, Preston and Hespeler Street Railway


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.

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.
