An early spring day, circa 1950 sees the arrival of the daily "Eskimo" from Calgary, pulled by "Jubilee" type #3001, a regular on this service before and after WW2. This great bridge spanning the North Saskatchewan River was completed in 1913, giving the CPR access to the city of Edmonton. Streetcars ran along the outsides of the deck, while vehicle and pedestrian traffic ran below. In the foreground are the grounds of the Legislative Buildings and buildings in the distance belong to the University of Alberta. Today the rail deck is no longer in use, while the vehicle deck is one way southbound.
