Edmonton 31
Edmonton 31 was in service from 1911 until 1949. Known as a "Prairie Preston" or "Small Preston" after its builder, the Preston Car and Coach Company, this class of car was the workhorse of most Prairie street railway systems. Regrettably it is the only known surviving body of its class. In poor condition, it will be retained as a pattern for a possible future replica car.
The Edmonton Radial Railway Society operates on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route to the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
