Fort Edmonton in Black and White--Toronto Street Car

The Edmonton Radial Railway Company, this is the same group that operates the High Level Bridge Street Car, operates the street cars in Fort Edmonton Park.
I took this shot from the steam engine. This is a 1951 Toronto Transit Commission Street Car. When it was put out of service in Toronto The folks here in Edmonton thought it would be a nice addition to their collection.
Later in the day we did catch a ride on it and I had a chance to chat with the driver.
You may also notice the fellow wearing a kilt. On the weekend we were there it was the annual Celtic Gathering at Fort Edmonton

Oh this makes me homesick! I absolutely LOVE this shot! So great in B&W it feels like another era but also captures what I think makes us Canadiens so lovable!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful street car shot. Looks great in B&W.

[❀ Lynn]

Rode on many streetcars of that vintage in Toronto when growing up there. And to be there during Celtic weekend would have been awesome!

[Sally Ings]

Great process, gives it a vintage feel!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great "street shot"! It looks like a juxtaposition of time periods- a time warp!

Very cool. With the man in the kilt, it looks like a snapshot from the past--except for the shorts his companion is wearing!

[bkb in the city]

@eudora I guess she did not get the memo:)
