Street Cars
The Saskatoon Municipal Railway operated street cars from New Year’s day 1913 until 1951. The museum has three street cars. Car 40 built by the Preston Car Company in 1911 was originally used in Calgary before being obtained by Saskatoon in 1919. Car 51 built by National Steel Car in 1927 operated in Saskatoon until the end of street car service. Both of these cars have been restored to original colours.
Car 203 was built by the Cincinnati Car Company in 1918 and was in service with the Cleveland, Ohio and the city of London, Ontario before being purchased by Saskatoon. Restoration on this car has not started.
