Edmonton Light Rail |
Edmonton is often considered the birthplace of modern Light Rail in North America. Due to the cold winters of Edmonton, the downtown portion of the system was placed in a subway. To speed loading and unloading Edmonton chose high level platforms. It is relatively short system, but it is fun to ride!
