Summary[edit]

Description
English: You can see the "Radial Railway Station" on the left and "The Scout Hut" on the right.

At one time tracks of the "Hamilton Radial Railway" ran along "Randall Street" and "Rebecca Street"

"The Scout Hut" 165 Randall Street was erected in 1926 on Town Property.

It actualy sits on part of the Thomas Street road allowance.


This Radial Railway Station which presently has a municipal street address of 139 Thomas Street was erected in 1906 as the Oakville Terminus of the Hamilton Radial Railway.

If you ever wondered why the intersection of Dunn Street and Randall Street has such an unusual configeratiuon it is because that is where the trains turned around to return to Hamilton.
