High Level Streetcar Service
High Level Bridge Streetcar Rides
When streetcars ran over Edmonton's High Level Bridge between 1913 and the closure of the system in 1951, they gave passengers one of the most spectacular streetcar rides on the continent. However, the tracks on the bridge were taken up many years ago, and a famous piece of Edmonton's history was lost.
In 1980, the non-profit Edmonton Radial Railway Society was formed with the aim of restoring and operating former Edmonton Streetcars. In the summer of 1997, the Society began operating a vintage streetcar over the top of the High Level Bridge after electrifying the old CPR line from the north side (beside Grandin/Government Centre LRT Station) to Old Strathcona. You can take this “Ride into History” between May and October.
2009 High Level Bridge Streetcar
High Level Bridge Streetcar service has concluded for 2009. Check back in 2010 for new information.
Take a ride back into history on the High Level Bridge Streetcar this summer, starting on the May long weekend.
The streetcar travels from Old Strathcona (103 Street and 85 Avenue) to the Jasper Terminus (just south of Jasper Avenue and west of 109 Street). Stops include 107 Street, 90 Avenue and 97 Avenue. You can board or leave at any of the stops.
The vintage streetcar is run by the non-profit Edmonton Radial Railway Society. ETS tickets and passes are not valid for travel on the streetcar.
