The majority of the views in this series (formerly series C), which is composed of five sub-series, relate to land and water transportation in Canada and the United States, with a strong focus on rail transportation. There are also many views of buildings, factories, shop interiors, machinery, landscapes, cityscapes and portraits. The series contains many images created by the Toronto Transit Commission and the Toronto Harbour Commission, as well as works by photographers such as J.B. Livernois, F.W. Micklethwaite, the Holloway Studio, J.W. Bald, A.E. Young, and Topley.

The sub-series are broken down under the following headings:

Views by the Toronto Transit Commission, Toronto Harbour Commission and other miscellaneous views of Canada and the United States

Railways in Canada and the United States

Views of Waterous Factory of Brantford, Ontario and of American Railways

Views of Canadian and American railways, landscapes, and cityscapes
