In addition to the open house at the D.L. MacDonald LRT facility, ETS ran a second open house at Ferrier Garage the following weekend.
Tow truck J3595 on display. Presumably new for 2026, this vehicle features the Metro Tow Trucks INT-35 body on Freightliner 114SD chassis. The City of Edmonton operated a very similar model with fleet number W3204, but it has since been sent to auction.
1950 Twin Coach 44-SP #59, part of the ETS historical collection, on display near J3595 mentioned above. Part of an order of 6 44-S model buses, this bus was converted to propane at the factory, likely as a trial for future Twin Coach orders that were to be powered by propane. It is unknown whether any other 44-SP (P for propane) models were built, as virtually every agency operating these buses in the propane configuration (ETS included) selected the updated 45-SP model with the larger (210hp as opposed to 180hp) engine.
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.

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.
