An eastbound coach approaching the Queenston traffic circle. The tip-offs are the switch in the foreground with the two sets of wires, and the lack of buildings at left - compare with hamilton06.jpg (King & Main). One set of wires goes around the traffic circle, which was the terminus for the King-Strathearne route; note that the trolley coach is in the left-hand lane to enter the loop. The other set of wires continued east on Queenston Road. Photo by R. Hill, donated by Kenneth Josephson.
