Through its forty years of street railway service, Calgary acquired passenger cars from such well-known Canadian builders as Ottawa Car Manufacturing Company, Preston Car & Coach Company, and the Canadian Car & Foundry. In addition, the system’s roster included used cars from several sources in the United States totalling 113 cars in all. There are over 150 streetcar photos, and a fine selection representing all classes of 'trackless trolley' coaches purchased new and acquired used from other US systems.

You’ll see streetcars and trolleybuses operating in the city centre, in the rural suburbs, and in residential neighbourhoods. Coverage of today’s modern rail transit cars is outstanding with all classes of LRVs represented, operating in all seasons, and over most portions of the system, illustrating the many varied and unique Calgary urban environments. There’s a variety of photos to interest everyone with an interest in the development of Calgary as a city: the construction of 'The Bay', early scenes in Bowness Park, and some views of the streetcars serving seemingly unpopulated fields that today are thriving subdivisions. In addition there are over a dozen maps and detailed equipment rosters.
