EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
1949 CCF/Brill T-44 #188-192

ETS purchased 5 more T-44 trolley coaches from CCF which arrived in Edmonton during November and December 1949. These would be the last T-44 model trolleybuses Edmonton would purchase new. All of these buses remained in service until between 1973 and 1978. #191 was retained as a parts bus for the historical collection, but was eventually scrapped. #191 still retains its original cream and red paint scheme, but with the then new Edmonton Transit logo, and the bus still has its original front with the arrow style turn signals.
