Edmonton is the birthplace of modern light rail in North America. This small one route system runs in a subway in downtown and onto the University district on account of the brutal Alberta winters. They use a version of the Frankfort U2 car, now almost the North American industry standard car. Edmonton is working on a southward expansion. The first section brings the line up from the deep University tunnel up to the surface. Other lines are in the planning stages. Edmonton maintains 2 vintage streetcar lines, both operated by a non-profit group. The first line is at Fort Edmonton Park, the other connects the capitol mall district with Strathcona.
