EDMONTON AT THE HALF-WAY STAGE

While the discussion and planning for proposed light rapid transit networks continues in many North American cities, Edmonton has gone ahead with construction and its initial 7 km route is due to open in early-1978. The simplicity of the line with its eight grade crossings and use of CN rights-of-way is noted and a brief description of rolling stock is included.
