I'm pro-LRT but the elevated rail that was offered in Hamilton was not the Expo Line. Not remotely. Phase One of SkyTrain (1985-1989) connected three cities, involved 20km of track and 15 stations, less than a third of the current system; Hamilton’s proposed 1981 demonstration elevated rail system would have been less than a third of that – it featured just four stops along 6km of track that lassoed the CBD to Upper James.

Without the third largest CMA in the country, the World Expo or the Olympics, who knows what the legacy of that rail system would be 30 years later?
