Special Cars
Observation Car
The observation car was most likely built in 1920 on the frame of streetcar #22, which burned while in service on 109 Street on June 13, 1917. In contrast to other cities, the Edmonton observation car did not enjoy a very long life, as it went into permanent storage at the end of the 1925 season. The trucks were used elsewhere, while the body was scrapped around 1945.
Decorated Streetcars
Passenger car #14 was rebuilt at the Cromdale shops in 1941 for further use as a mobile library. It was used in that service until abandonment of the Calder line in August 1949, when the car was retired, stripped at 118 Avenue and 124 Street and sold.
LIBRARY CAR
Passenger car #14 was rebuilt at the Cromdale shops in 1941 for further use as a mobile library. It was used in that service until abandonment of the Calder line in August 1949, when the car was retired, stripped at 118 Avenue and 124 Street and sold.
