Cataract Traction is more than the story of a collection of electric railways based in and around Hamilton, Ontario. Although it may hardly be recognizable to our modern eyes, the rise and decline of the trolley was a giant step in the evolution of mass transit as we now know it. John Mills has managed to make clear and entertaining this story of urban and interurban development. In this second volume in the Canadian Traction Serieshis first book, Niagara, St. Catharines & Toronto, is now sold out and rates as a collector's itemhe has once again demonstrated his skill at researching a difficult subject and presenting it in a bright and narrative style. His reputation among railway historians has enabled him to draw on the best sources of photographs, historical and mechanical data, and other railway memorabilia, from former employees to the archives of the railways themselves. No minor feat, considering that the electric railways of Hamilton, as depicted in this book, had all but disappeared over a quarter of a century ago.
