Edmonton Streetcar Fleet
Melbourne 930
1947
At least 765 W-class trams were built in Melbourne (Australia) from 1923 until 1956. These icons of Australian transit were designated as heritage items by the National Trust in 1990.
Melbourne 930 was withdrawn from service in 1997 and placed in reserve storage. In 2004, the car was shipped to Edmonton as an ambassador for the City of Melbourne and the State of Victoria. Following extensive truck and brake overhauls, car 930 entered service in 2006.
