Blast from the past - Calgary and Area Photos


Recommended Posts

Here's a shot of #3001 between two other U2 cars at what I believe is Erlton Stampede Station. Photo captured in March of 1999: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vehicle-images/8204210396/ Here's a shot of the interior of car #3001 captured in April of 1999: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vehicle-images/8204232796/

Sweet! Thanks so much for posting those shots!

Sorry to bump an old thread but I wasn't sure where else this could/should go. (I hope spring 2006 qualifies as a "blast from the past"!) Stumbled upon some old pictures of mine featuring pre-refurbishment platforms on 7th Ave. including the former end of the line at 10 St., a few GM Fishbowls and some other fun stuff.

Nice photos!  I don’t think they’re from 1980 though. 

There's no sign of Bankers Hall, Suncor, Nexen, or even the Husky Towers, in the background. Tallest building at the time was the ScotiaBank Tower. Looking at the Winnipeg-esque background in that picture... considering how similar both cities were until Calgary's population and developmental explosion, its definitely 1980. No sign of construction cranes or anything in the background either for those buildings that were completed mid to late 80s as well. Would've had to been late 1980 or early 1981, at the latest.

Second pic also has the older Chevrolet trucks and everything as well.
