Special thanks to ETS for another excellent open house at the D.L. MacDonald LRT facility!
1977 Siemens-Duewag U2 LRV #1001 on display. Allegedly this car will be retained and preserved with the upcoming retirement of the U2 fleet.
1976 Fairmont Speeder #3679 on display outside. This unit features a custom body completed by Edmonton Truck Body in 1992. The LED headlights and light bars are a recent upgrade. It is likely the last piece of equipment in the 1976-1997 livery, and is rumored to be the only standard transmission vehicle in the entire City of Edmonton service vehicle fleet.
Cold Lake Transit started
operations on August 26, 2015 with a fleet of ex Calgary Transit MCI
TC-40102N Classic's. Finally, coming soon we'll have photos of some of the
fleet from a trip in 2015 and 2018. All Classic's have since been retired
and replaced a fleet of new and used Nova Bus LFS's. #5008 is seen in 2018
with Cold Lake in the background while working a route 1, and 5009 is seen
in 2015 working a route 2.
Nico's Video of the
Month:
On September 26, 2026, Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) opened it's doors at
the D.L. MacDonald LRT Garage to the general public. Guests were invited to
check out LRT vehicles, sit in the operator's seat of select units and take
home some souvenirs! I will admit to taking a little more than I expected
but hey, that's what happens when a collector attends an ETS Open House!
Enjoy the video! Recorded on September 26, 2026 in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada.
