Outside of the cities of Toronto and Montreal in Ontario and Quebec, respectively, the next biggest city as one moves west cross Canada is Edmonton. Lying just southeast of Alberta's central point, Edmonton is the province's capital and home to the famous West Edmonton Mall and Fort Edmonton Park. Edmonton is also a major stop on the famous VIA Rail "Canadian" all-streamliner passenger service. However, unlike that rolling anachronism of 1950s Budd cars, their current light rail system is but a shadow of its former glory. On today's Trolley Thursday, we look back on the original Edmonton Radial Railway and the historical society that takes its name today.
Your dose of streetcar and interurban history from the United States and around the world, every Tuesday and Thursday!
