Best viewed on monitor set to 800 x 600 high colour KITCHENER & WATERLOO STREET RAILWAY Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Revised July 19, 2004 ================================================================================= A HISTORY OF THE STREET RAILWAYS OF KITCHENER & WATERLOO Berlin and Waterloo Street Railway Company (1889 - c.1919) Berlin and Waterloo Street Railway (xxxx - xxxx ) Kitchener & Waterloo Street Railway (c.1919 - c.1927) Kitchener Public Utilities Commission (c.1927 - 1973) Berlin & Bridgeport Electric Street Railway Company (1902 - 1912) Berlin & Northern Railway Company (1912 - 1919) Waterloo Wellington Railway Company (1919 - 1923) T he Berlin and Waterloo Street Railway Company was incorporated in 1886, securing a twenty-five year charter and franchise.

. The charter allowed the company to operate for twelve hours daily except Sunday.

. Principal owners of the company lived in New York City and sent as their representative, Colonial Thomas M.

. Within a year, the company owned eight open and eight closed cars, three large covered sleighs which were employed in the winter when the weather was at its worst, and seventeen horses.

. Brill & Company was virtually synonymous with the street railway industry.

. Brill not only grew to become the largest streetcar and interurban manufacturer in America, but eventually the company and its subsidiaries became the largest car builder in the world.

. It was literally true that the sun never set on a Brill-built car and the company's well-built products could be found on city streets throughout much of the civilized world.

. The company was founded in Philadelphia in 1868 by John G.

. Brill and his son, George Martin Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company No.

. By 1890 the company had relocated to a large plant on Philadelphia's Woodland Avenue, a facility it would occupy throughout its corporate life.

. The new factory and Brill's proven success in building horse cars and cable cars put the company in position to meet the demands of the new and exploding electric railway technology of the 1890s.

. By the turn of the century Brill was ready to undertake a major expansion, and in 1902 the company began buying out rival car builders in an attempt to consolidate the industry.

Pressed-metal paradise

. The Diner's News & Guide was a monthly magazine published in Buffalo by the Dinersí News Company.

. Oddly, the most prolific company of the region was not a member when this issue was published.

. Their second diner went to Toledo, Ohio, and by 1925 the company employed 50 men, most earning about 50 cents an hour, foremen 75 cents.

. The diners had 18 stools and came fully equipped, including an exhaust fan which completely changed the air in ìexactly 60 seconds.î The company later offered two models: a 33-foot Standard with 12 stools and two booths, and a Deluxe, which was nine feet longer and moved the kitchen from the center to the end of the car.

. There's a lot of work to be done, but the community is likely inspired by the company's old slogan, ìThey're built to last.î Two other manufacturers were to the northeast, closer to Lake Ontario.

. The other company was at 30 Main Street right in Rochester, but some years earlier ñ it was called Rochester Grills.

. Brill Company in Philadelphia.

. The firm absorbed many of its competitors, including the American Car Company in St.

. Kuhlman Car Company in Cleveland, the John Stephenson Company in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and the Wason Manufacturing Company in Springfield, Massachusetts.

. These acquisitions gave the Brill Company access to strategically located plants in most parts of the country.
