About this event

On 137 avenue, across from what is now a Superstore, there used to be a car barn built to house the trains that would ride along what was once the most northern railway in North America. This is the story of the turbulent and exciting rise of the Edmonton Interurban Railway, and its swift and unfortunate demise. The Edmonton Interurban Railway was route that lasted from September 1913 to April 1914, taking Albertan's from Edmonton to St Albert and back. This new play shows how it came to be by the work of Raymond Brutinel, and how it could have changed even our lives today had it not burnt suddenly due to a gas explosion. Proceeds from this show will be donated to a children's charity. Songs are performed by the Fab Tiff Hall Inspired by the research of Raymond Corley, Dylan Bohanychuk, Jaryn Williams, and Lane Petrosenko
