Reposting this 1972 shot of #580 on Route 10 Capital Hill/Manchester as it was known back then, from a Facebook group. #598 can be seen in the background.

Ah, yes, looks to be from a ttcbeat eBay auction where he puts is watermark across the image with the intention of dissuading others from reusing the image.

I rode both cars in Edmonton when they were there in summer 1989. ETS operators didn't much care for them. Their dashboards were laid out to Calgary spec rather than Edmonton. For example, the battery and pantograph buttons, which are in the lower left corner of a Calgary dashboard, are in the upper left corner in Edmonton.

I rediscovered some slides in my collection recently. I'm not 100% certain if they are originals or duplicates, but, they are colour streetcar slides so I'm not complaining! Dates on all of the streetcar slides is September 1947. Below are 4 scans from this set.

#14 with a trailer. I suspect this was at the barns.

#58 somewhere in Calgary. Note that trolleybuses and streetcars are sharing positive wire.

Oh man, I've played that field before. Would've been awesome to have had 1089 there back then. Did you arrange to be on the field for photos, or just snuck a few while between games?

PM sent.

I came across this picture on Facebook yesterday, and had to share it. I know I've seen a picture of it somewhere else here; but I can't remember where.

One of the 15 Flxettes built for DART in 1973-74. They lasted until the original South LRT line opened May 25, 1981. More in "Calgary Transit Then and Now" by Don Bain, page 41.
