1930 Ottawa Car Manufacturing
Company #80
operated by the Edmonton Radial Railway/ ETS.
#80 was part of a group of 5 cars purchased from the Ottawa Car Manufacturing Company in 1930. These cars were the last cars to be purchased for the Edmonton streetcar system, and the only steel bodied cars. Their interiors where upholstered in leather. These 5 cars all lasted until the end of streetcar operations, and mainly operated on the blue and white line. #80 was used a lunch counter in Dawson Creek, then as a granary before being acquired by the ERRS in 1981, with restoration starting in 1985. The car was built with CCF trucks and GE K-35-HH controllers with Canadian General Electric 247J motors.
