Shelter construction at Clareview.
This page will be covering the larger and more specialized equipment used to maintain ETS infrastructure. A lot of this equipment will have specific uses, such as a snow removal, and bus shelter construction/ repair. A note on snow removal- in more recent years ETS has contracted out snow removal from transit centres. As a result, you don't see the amount of snow removal operations as you once did. City of Edmonton equipment, and occasionally ETS equipment, can still be seen clearing or sanding the bus driveways at transit centres. A lot of this equipment is multipurpose, so no point in specifically noting with the vehicle is used for. In later years it has been hard to differentiate between Bus and LRT Facility Maintenance, so it's possible we have some mixed up. This applied to generic ETS Bus Support Vehicles.

Ford/ Dump | May 2001 | Unfortunately not the best shot, but, also one of my first shots of a ETS maintenance vehicle.
