Calgary municipal railway
The Calgary municipal railway operated a system of streetcar routes in Calgary, Alberta, from 1909, until 1950.
From 1909 to 1910 the system was named the "Calgary Electric Railway".
In 1909, and early 1910, the system was known as the "Calgary electric railway".
In 1946, the system was renamed the "Calgary Transit System", to reflect the decision that all the streetcars routes were to be replaced with electric trolley buses.
