Edmonton Radial Railway Society
1912 St. Louis Car Company #42 operated by the Edmonton Radial Railway/ ETS.

#42 was part of a group of 15 cars purchased from the St. Louis Car Company in 1912. They were built as double ended cars, but most had been converted to single ended cars by 1931. #42 remained on the property until 1951. After that, the body was sold and used as a cottage near Sylvan Lake until the ERRS acquired it in 1981and it had been restored by 1985. It has been running at Fort Edmonton Park since then. The car was built with St. Louis 47-B trucks and GE K-6 controllers with Westinghouse 101-2-B motors.
