EDMONTON STORIES

Take a ride into Edmonton's past. The history of streetcars in Edmonton dates back to the very first streetcar ride in November 1908. The Edmonton Radial Railway (as it was known) became famous throughout North America because of the unique streetcar ride over the North Saskatchewan River, the highest river crossing by streetcar in the world.
