The Edmonton Radial Railway (ERR) was a streetcar service that operated in Edmonton, Alberta from 1908 to 1951. In 1893 an ordinance was passed permitting Edmonton to construct and operate a tramway. However, it wasn't until 1907 that the tracks for the first tramway line were laid, with service commencing in 1908.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edmonton Streetcar System )〕 In 1908, the Government of Alberta passed the Edmonton Radial Tramway Act, permitting the city to provide tramway service to communities located within 80 miles of the city. With this power, the city purchased the Strathcona Radial Tramway Company Ltd., and began providing streetcar service to the City of Strathcona as well.〔 The radial railway reached its greatest extent in 1930. Two years later, in 1932, bus service replaced streetcar service on the 102 Avenue line. In the following years, the Edmonton trolley bus system replaced streetcar service on most Edmonton Radial Railway routes, and streetcar service ended in 1951.〔 Now Edmonton Transit System, the trolley bus system was discontinued in 2009 because of increasing costs. Today, the Edmonton Radial Railway Society operates historic streetcars on Edmonton's High Level Bridge and in Fort Edmonton Park. ==See also== * Edmonton Light Rail Transit * Edmonton Radial Railway Society * Edmonton Transit System * High Level Bridge (Edmonton) * High Level Bridge Streetcar 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmonton Radial Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
