EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
1947 CCF/Brill T-44 #203-212

ETS purchased 10 used CCF/ Brill trolley coaches from Vancouver in 1962. The arrival of these coaches meant the retirement of the 3 Mack CR trolleybuses, and later on they helped with the retirement of the Pullman 44-CX and ACF/ Brill TC-44 trolley coaches between 1964 and 1966, with the help of the T-44's purchased used from Regina in 1966. These buses were ex Vancouver #2001-2010 and were retired by Vancouver because they were their first and oldest trolleybuses in service at the time. These buses were retired from Edmonton service between 1974 and the end of Brill service 1978.
