There used to be something called "interurban" railways.  There were a 
few in the Toronto area.  These typically had a single, self propelled 
car and were lighter than regular railroads.  The Halton County Radial 
Railway, was created on a segment of the line going to Guelph.  
Interurbans were often called radial railways, as they were like spokes 
around a hub.  I recall my mother talking about one that used to go to 
Richmond Hill.

GO Transit started in 1967, but would be closer to regular trains.
