Description

The High Level Bridge Streetcar, operated by the Edmonton Radial Railway Society, stands as one of Edmonton's premier attractions, offering a unique journey into the city's past. This historic streetcar ride takes passengers along former Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) trackage, tracing a route from Edmonton's iconic Whyte Avenue, through a tunnel on the CPR mainline – the only one ever built in Alberta – and across the historic High Level Bridge into Downtown Edmonton.

The journey concludes at Jasper Plaza, conveniently located just a block from Jasper Avenue.Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and cannot be reserved in advance. Passengers are welcome to make stop-overs, and the return portion of a round trip can be used on any date and at any scheduled time.

Charter Trips: The High Level Bridge streetcars can also be booked for various occasions, including weddings, birthdays, and gatherings.
Route: The High Level Bridge line begins at the Whyte Ave Terminus, stopping at Old Strathcona, 107 St, Garneau, Government Centre, and Jasper Plaza before returning.
